Just installed Gitlab successfully on RHEL6. Some modifications to the installation steps:

- I used RVM to install Ruby 1.9.3. This should be fairly straightforward.

- adduser command has a different interface on RHEL, but it shouldn’t be hard to figure out.

- I used Apache ProxyPass instead of Nginx. unicorn.rb needed to be updated to listen on a tcp port instead of a socket file.

- Supplied init.d script did not work out of box. Some modifications were required.

- Redis server was installed from REMI.

Let me know where you’re stuck and I can try to help you.

I agree that Gitlab is not very easy to install, as there are many complicated steps. The benefits of having a free private GitHub, though, were totally worth it.
