# Package defaults **(FREE SELF)**

Unless configuration is specified in the `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` file,

Legend:

- `Component` - Name of the component.
- `On by default` - Is the component running by default.
- `Communicates via` - How the component talks with the other components.
- `Alternative` - If it is possible to configure the component to use different type of communication. The type is listed with default port used in that case.
- `Connection port` - Port on which the component communicates.

GitLab also expects a file system to be ready for the storage of Git repositories
and various other files.

Note that if you are using NFS (Network File System), files will be carried
over a network which will require, based on implementation, ports `111` and
`2049` to be open.

NOTE:
In some cases, the GitLab Registry will be automatically enabled by default. Please see [our documentation](../packages/container_registry.md) for more details

 [^Consul-notes]: If using additional Consul functionality, more ports may need to be opened. See the [official documentation](https://www.consul.io/docs/install/ports#ports-table) for the list.
