Repository storages

GitLab allows you to define repository storage paths to enable distribution of storage load between several mount points.

For installations from source

Add your repository storage paths in your gitlab.yml under repositories -> storages, using key -> value pairs.

Notes:

  • You must have at least one storage path called default.
  • In order for backups to work correctly the storage path must not be a mount point and the GitLab user should have correct permissions for the parent directory of the path.

For omnibus installations

Follow the instructions at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/settings/configuration.md#storing-git-data-in-an-alternative-directory
