login failure
Hi,
how to login to the ec2 instance itself using the serial console ?
there is no indication in the doc. can somone please help
You Can SSH In
I was able to SSH into the server just fine with `ssh -i gitlab.pem ubuntu@10.0.0.10`. Obviously update your IP as needed.
After trying several other roll-your-own methods, this one worked for me
I don't understand the problems other folks had getting this thing going. Just a thought... if you can't make this work, you shouldn't be in DevOps anyway.
I've been using this AMI for a few years now. I had massive permissions trouble upgrading from the previous release based on Ubuntu 18.x bionic to the one based on 20.x focal. I was able to get it fixed up though, and we've been solid since.
Impossible to use
As most other reviewers state it is impossible to connect to the EC2 after creation. SSH will not work as connection times out, and ports 80 & 443 timeout. VPC is correct, server does not respond
Running But Can't Access
There were no issues spinning up the AMI, but connecting to it was a pain as the external link kept opening to a page not found. Took me a while to realize that the external link provided by AWS is https and this instance is only configured for http. Afterwards tried to connect via SSH for management of the instance, but receive a SSH_DISCONNECT_KEY_EXCHANGE_FAILED failed to negotiate key exchange algorithm. So while I can access the GitLab UI, the instance can't be used as there is no way for me to log into the server to do maintenance.
Great AMI.
Nice app.
Have no idea why others could not find documentation under "Additional Resources" on the AMI page.

Anyway, it seems like AMI lacks for SSL support.
I couldn't figure it out
I spent a good couple of hours trying to set this up, but I couldn't figure it out. There is an endless number of forms to fill out, menus to navigate, and buttons to press. So I gave up. But ever since then, I've been getting relentlessly spammed by Amazon in relation to this package. I have no idea how to unsubscribe from this.
Doesn't work
AMI simply does not work, the service never becomes available at your Public IP address. It just gets stuck at "host not found." Way better off just setting up your own vanilla EC2 and installing it the old-fashioned way.
Have no idea how to login
No instruction provided, admin / admin doesn't works.
Googled for some creds, but no luck.
Is that so difficult to put a short instruction how to login?
error changing password
after install and try change Password
8 errors prohibited this user from being saved
didn't even help (ssh):
sudo gitlab-rails console -e production
user = User.where(id: 1).first
user.email = 'myemail@gmail.com'
user.password = 'secret_pass'
user.password_confirmation = 'secret_pass'
user.save!
exit
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
