# Environment Variables
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Introduction
|
||
|
|
||
|
Commonly people configure GitLab via the gitlab.rb configuration file in the Omnibus package.
|
||
|
|
||
|
But if you prefer to use environment variables we allow that too.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Supported environment variables
|
||
|
|
||
|
Variable | Type | Explanation
|
||
|
--- | --- | ---
|
||
|
GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD | string | sets the password for the `root` user on installation
|
||
|
GITLAB_HOST | url | hostname of the GitLab server includes http or https
|
||
|
RAILS_ENV | production/development/staging/test | Rails environment
|
||
|
DATABASE_URL | url | For example: postgresql://localhost/blog_development?pool=5
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Complete database variables
|
||
|
|
||
|
As explained in the [Heroku documentation](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails-database-connection-behavior) the DATABASE_URL doesn't let you set:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- adapter
|
||
|
- database
|
||
|
- username
|
||
|
- password
|
||
|
- host
|
||
|
- port
|
||
|
|
||
|
To do set these please `cp config/database.yml.rb config/database.yml` and use the following variables:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Variable | Default
|
||
|
--- | ---
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_ADAPTER | postgresql
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_ENCODING | unicode
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_DATABASE | gitlab_#{ENV['RAILS_ENV']
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_POOL | 10
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_USERNAME | root
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_PASSWORD |
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_HOST | localhost
|
||
|
GITLAB_DATABASE_PORT | 5432
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Other variables
|
||
|
|
||
|
We welcome merge requests to make more settings configurable via variables.
|
||
|
Please stick to the naming scheme "GITLAB_#{name 1_settings.rb in upper case}".
