Overview
TurnKey GitLab helps save you time and money by providing a ready-to-run GitLab solution that is secure, supported and easy to maintain. The system auto-updates itself with security fixes and is built in a transparent 100% open source process free of hidden backdoors.
GitLab let's you keep & manage your code, similar to GitHub but on your own server. GitLab helps you manage projects, issues and merge requests and browse source code. It's a fast, secure and stable solution based on Ruby on Rails.
Highlights
- Secure, supported and easy to maintain: auto-updated daily with latest security patches. Bundled support for no extra charge.
- Free from hidden backdoors and vendor lock-in: transparent 100% opensource build of Debian GNU/Linux with no proprietary components or secret sauce.
- Free 1-click backup, restore and migrate: bundled backup software saves changes to files, databases and package management to encrypted storage which servers can be automatically restored from.

Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run this GitLab appliance on. The software itself carries no separate license fee; billing scales with the compute size you pick. Options span many instance families, from small general-purpose sizes like t2, t3, and m-series through compute-optimized c-series types. Larger instance types cost more per hour because they provide more CPU and memory. You choose the size that fits your workload, and your hourly charge tracks that choice plus standard AWS infrastructure fees. Stopping an instance stops its hourly charges.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers running the GitLab appliance on your chosen EC2 instance type. You pay it for each hour the instance runs. Standard AWS charges apply separately, including compute fees, storage for the root volume, and any Elastic IP or data transfer costs.
Hourly software charges stop when the instance is stopped, since billing meters running time. If your server uses persistent EBS storage, that volume keeps holding your data and continues to incur standard AWS storage fees while the instance is off. Ephemeral servers cannot be stopped, only rebooted or destroyed.
Each instance type maps to a set amount of CPU and memory. Larger or newer families provide more compute and cost more per hour. Compute-optimized c-series types favor CPU-heavy work, while t and m families suit general use. You pick one type; that single choice sets your hourly rate.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
System Initialization:
After creating an EC2 instance with 1-Click, browse to http://<Public_DNS>/ for system initialization instructions.
Alternatively, log in via SSH as user 'admin' to the running instance. Be sure to use the SSH keypair selected during launch.
This inital step is required to set sensitive passwords & install security updates. You may also be asked to set a domain name for your server. If this is required, then it must be a valid domain name (i.e. have DNS configured).
Accessing the software main web app
http://<Public_DNS>/
This may redirect to https and/or the domain set at initialisation.
OS commands via SSH
Log into the running instance via SSH as user 'admin', using the SSH keypair set at launch time. Use sudo to run commands requiring root access.

Remove scary browser warnings
By default TurnKey AMIs ship with randomly generated self signed SSL/TLS certifcates. This will cause scary warning in your web browser When accessing https.
To remove the browser warnings, you will need to get a SSL/TLS certificate signed by an authorized Certificate Authority (CA). The recommended way to do that is to get a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. TurnKey comes with a built in tool to do that within your instance:
-
Ensure that you have your chosen domain DNS records configured and your domain resolves to your instance.
-
Access your instance via SSH.
-
Run 'sudo confconsole'.
-
Select:
Advanced >> Lets Encrypt >> Gen cert
