1. Create a fresh instance to run Gerrit itself

2. Before you apply any role on it, make sure if you: either use the existing "gerrit-mysql" instance as db backend or follow mysql setup instructions at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P3939 to make a new one. (don't manually install mysql on localhost). If you don't use "gerrit-mysql",make sure the "gerrit::jetty::db_host" is set to the correct server in Hiera (example: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hiera%3AGit&type=revision&diff=819031&oldid=816844) The DB part should be running _before_ you start the Gerrit service.

3. Look in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaInstance (Instance ID) for instance address to put in "gerrit::jetty::db_host": <id> 

4. go to hiera in wikitech (Hiera:<project_name>) https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hiera:Git and add this unless it's already there from before
"gerrit::jetty::db_host": <from step 3>
"role::gerrit::server::ipv4": <instance-ip>
"gerrit::host": <the domain you setup in horizon>

5. apply role::gerrit::server in wikitech

6. sudo puppet agent -tv

7. sudo apt-get --purge remove gerrit

8. sudo puppet agent -tv (<< that should reinstall it).

9. cd /var/lib/gerrit2/

10. java -jar gerrit.war reindex -d review_site --threads 4

11. sudo puppet agent -tv

12. sudo service gerrit

13. sudo service gerrit start
