Ansible role for GitLab

This role installs and configures GitLab on Gentoo Linux *.

* If you’re using some Debian-based distro like Ubuntu, then switch to branch ubuntu. Note: I know how to support more distros in one role, but I don’t want to.

Directory structure

This roles doesn’t follows bad-practices from the official GitLab installation guide about keeping everything inside /home/git. I’ve changed the structure to be more compliant with (FHS). However, it’s not written in stone, most of the paths can be simply customized using variables (see defaults/main.yml).
