Configuring Sidekiq (FREE SELF)

This section discusses how to configure an external Sidekiq instance using the bundled Sidekiq in the GitLab package.

Sidekiq requires connection to the Redis, PostgreSQL and Gitaly instance. To configure the Sidekiq node:

  1. SSH into the Sidekiq server.

  2. Download/install the Omnibus GitLab package you want using steps 1 and 2 from the GitLab downloads page. Do not complete any other steps on the download page.

  3. Open /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb with your editor.

  4. Generate the Sidekiq configuration:

    sidekiq['listen_address'] = "10.10.1.48"

## Optional: Enable extra Sidekiq processes
sidekiq_cluster['enable'] = true
sidekiq['queue_groups'] = [
  "elastic_commit_indexer",
  "*"
]

  5. Setup Sidekiq's connection to Redis:

    ## Must be the same in every sentinel node
redis['master_name'] = 'gitlab-redis'

## The same password for Redis authentication you set up for the master node.
redis['master_password'] = 'YOUR_PASSOWORD'

## A list of sentinels with `host` and `port`
gitlab_rails['redis_sentinels'] = [
    {'host' => '10.10.1.34', 'port' => 26379},
    {'host' => '10.10.1.35', 'port' => 26379},
    {'host' => '10.10.1.36', 'port' => 26379},
  ]

  6. Set up Sidekiq's connection to Gitaly:

    git_data_dirs({
  'default' => { 'gitaly_address' => 'tcp://gitaly:8075' },
})
gitlab_rails['gitaly_token'] = 'YOUR_TOKEN'

  7. Set up Sidekiq's connection to PostgreSQL:

    gitlab_rails['db_host'] = '10.10.1.30'
gitlab_rails['db_password'] = 'YOUR_PASSOWORD'
gitlab_rails['db_port'] = '5432'
gitlab_rails['db_adapter'] = 'postgresql'
gitlab_rails['db_encoding'] = 'unicode'
gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false

    Remember to add the Sidekiq nodes to PostgreSQL's trusted addresses:

    postgresql['trust_auth_cidr_addresses'] = %w(127.0.0.1/32 10.10.1.30/32 10.10.1.31/32 10.10.1.32/32 10.10.1.33/32 10.10.1.38/32)

  8. Disable other services:

    nginx['enable'] = false
grafana['enable'] = false
prometheus['enable'] = false
gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false
alertmanager['enable'] = false
gitaly['enable'] = false
gitlab_monitor['enable'] = false
gitlab_workhorse['enable'] = false
nginx['enable'] = false
postgres_exporter['enable'] = false
postgresql['enable'] = false
redis['enable'] = false
redis_exporter['enable'] = false
puma['enable'] = false
gitlab_exporter['enable'] = false

  9. If you're using the Container Registry and it's running on a different node than Sidekiq, then configure the registry URL:

    registry_external_url 'https://registry.example.com'
gitlab_rails['registry_api_url'] = "https://registry.example.com"

    You must also copy the registry.key file to each Sidekiq node.

  10. Define the external_url. To maintain uniformity of links across nodes, the external_url on the Sidekiq server should point to the external URL that users will use to access GitLab. This will either be the external_url set on your application server or the URL of a external load balancer which will route traffic to the GitLab application server:

    external_url 'https://gitlab.example.com'

  11. Run gitlab-ctl reconfigure.

You will need to restart the Sidekiq nodes after an update has occurred and database migrations performed.
