Lab Overview

Feasibility gate for self-managed GitLab CE on one large ubuntu2024 VM. The lab records install, health, backup, and restore evidence. If package installation is unavailable, the supplied scenario evidence still teaches the same operational decisions without pretending a live install passed.

What You'll Learn

Install a pinned GitLab CE package and record resource and health evidence

Import the gitlab-delivery-demo checkpoint and verify repository content when live CE is healthy

Evaluate constrained-memory tuning and distinguish live results from fallback evidence

Produce and verify backup and restore evidence with an explicit cleanup path
