A friend lend me his old Raspberry Pi to try it out. Currently I am trying to install GitLab on it.

I followed the instructions from their install page. Even though it is stated that those instructions are for the Raspberry Pi 2, everything seemed to work fine. I was greeted with a success message after unpacking the image:

gitlab: GitLab should be reachable at http://raspberrypi
gitlab: Otherwise configure GitLab for your system by editing /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file
gitlab: And running reconfigure again.
gitlab: 
gitlab: For a comprehensive list of configuration options please see the Omnibus GitLab readme
gitlab: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md
gitlab: 
It looks like GitLab has not been configured yet; skipping the upgrade script.

After that I tried to connect to the Gitlab install from another computer on the same network, but neither the Ip, nor http://raspberrypi works.

I checked the external URL setting and tried sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure, that takes a second or two, but there is no success message or error after doing that, I just can’t connect to the Gitlab installation.

gitlab-ctl status does the same thing. I wait for several seconds, but I get no message at all.

Is there a way to get Gitlab to work on the Raspberry Pi 1?

I had trouble running gitlab on 2 GB RAM 1.2 GHz HP ProLiant. It uses a lot of resources to run. If you can do without the fancy GUI, you could just install the git core on your RPi create a bare repository that you can then push to just like you were using github or gitlab.
