For information, see the [GitLab Release Process](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/docs/tree/master#gitlab-release-process).
Both EE and CE require some add-on components called gitlab-shell and Gitaly. These components are available from the [gitlab-shell](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-shell/tree/master) and [gitaly](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/tree/master) repositories respectively. New versions are usually tags but staying on the master branch will give you the latest stable version. New releases are generally around the same time as GitLab CE releases with exception for informal security updates deemed critical.

## Components
A typical install of GitLab will be on GNU/Linux. It uses Nginx or Apache as a web front end to proxypass the Unicorn web server. By default, communication between Unicorn and the front end is via a Unix domain socket but forwarding requests via TCP is also supported. The web front end accesses `/home/git/gitlab/public` bypassing the Unicorn server to serve static pages, uploads (e.g. avatar images or attachments), and precompiled assets. GitLab serves web pages and a [GitLab API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/doc/api) using the Unicorn web server. It uses Sidekiq as a job queue which, in turn, uses redis as a non-persistent database backend for job information, meta data, and incoming jobs.
We also support deploying GitLab on Kubernetes using our [gitlab Helm chart](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/).

The GitLab web app uses PostgreSQL for persistent database information (e.g. users, permissions, issues, other meta data). GitLab stores the bare git repositories it serves in `/home/git/repositories` by default. It also keeps default branch and hook information with the bare repository.

It manages the SSH keys within `/home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys` which should not be manually edited. gitlab-shell accesses the bare repositories through Gitaly to serve git objects and communicates with redis to submit jobs to Sidekiq for GitLab to process. gitlab-shell queries the GitLab API to determine authorization and access.

GitLab is primarily installed within the `/home/git` user home directory as `git` user. Within the home directory is where the gitlabhq server software resides as well as the repositories (though the repository location is configurable).
The bare repositories are located in `/home/git/repositories`. GitLab is a ruby on rails application so the particulars of the inner workings can be learned by studying how a ruby on rails application works.

## Files are owned by root by default
All the files in the Rails tree (`app/`, `config/` etc.) are owned by 'root' in
omnibus installations. This makes the installation simpler and it provides

and write it to the Rails root. In the omnibus packages, reconfigure writes the

The Omnibus design separates code (read-only, under `/opt/gitlab`) from data
(read/write, under `/var/opt/gitlab`) and logs (read/write, under
`/var/log/gitlab`). To make this happen the reconfigure script sets custom
paths where it can in GitLab config files, and where there are no path
settings, it uses symlinks.
For example, `config/gitlab.yml` is treated as data so that file is a symlink.
