+## PostgreSQL and Redis
+
+* Gitlab CE uses **Redis** to store user sessions and a task queue.
+* GitLab CE uses **PostgreSQL** as its database back end.
+
+### Start PostgreSQL Docker Container
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name postgresql \
+  -p 5432:5432 \
+  -e POSTGRES_USER=gitlab \
+  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=gitlab \
+  -e POSTGRES_DB=gitlabhq_production \
+  postgres:9.6.14
+```
+
+### Install psql client for connecting to PostgreSQL
+
+```bash
+apt install postgresql-client-common postgresql-client-10
+
+psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U gitlab -W gitlabhq_production
+```
+
+### Start Redis Docker Container
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:latest
+```
+
+
+
+## Start Gitlab
+
+* Set the **external_url** to the URL that will be used by Gitlab.
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name gitlab \
+  -p 30080:30080 \
+  -p  7999:22 \
+  --env GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG="external_url 'http://gitlab.gestalts.net:30080'; gitlab_rails['gitlab_shell_ssh_port']=7999;" \
+  --link postgresql \
+  --link redis \
+  gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest
+```
+
+## Connect to Gitlab and create a root username password
+
+```bash
+echo "127.0.0.1 gitlab.gestalts.net" >> /etc/hosts
+```
+
+* The default Gitlab admin username is **root**.
+* When connecting to Gitlab for the first time, the user will be prompted to create a password for the **root** user.
+* Direct the web browser to the **external_url** set in the `GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG` enviroment variables: http://gitlab.gestalts.net:30080
