Bitnami package for GitLab CE
Bitnami by VMware | 16.10.3-ce.0-0 on Debian 12Linux/Unix, Debian 12 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Works like a charm
Everything is working as expected. The only missing part was the email sending server, but this is easily fixable with apt-get installation.

Amazingly simple and powerful
This AMI is awesome. Able to get up and running with both gitlab and gitlabci very quickly. Make sure you follow (http://wiki.bitnami.com/Amazon_cloud/Where_can_I_find_my_AWS_Marketplace_credentials%3f) in order to get the default password, with username "user@example.com".
Very easy to setup. Works right out of the box, except for emails
Useful Machine. Almost no setup necessary, works out of the box. As mentionned earlier by other reviews, this machine is missing sendmail.
Since emails are a part of a standard workflow in Gitlab, the machine should come with sendmail (or another email solution) pre-installed.
Default login
What is the default password for this? When I go in and install it, it comes up with the login page, nothing seems to work. I finangled my way into mysql to find the username was user@example.com but the password that is documented does not work at all!
Best option, but not perfect
Bitnami has the quickest install for Gitlab, but there are some issues it would be nice to have addressed.
-Sendmail isn't installed, so email notifications don't work out of the box. Easy to solve by running apt-get install sendmail, but still a slight annoyance.
-SMTP doesn't work, probably because of the modified nature of the install.
-File locations are not the same as the official product making modifications and maintenance a little more difficult.
