# Configuration files Documentation
|
|
|
|
Note that most configuration files (`config/*.*`) committed into
|
|
[gitlab-ce](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce) **will not be used** for
|
|
[omnibus-gitlab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab). Configuration
|
|
files committed into gitlab-ce are only used for development.
|
|
|
|
## gitlab.yml
|
|
|
|
You can find most of GitLab configuration settings here.
|
|
|
|
## mail_room.yml
|
|
|
|
This file is actually an YML wrapped inside an ERB file to enable templated
|
|
values to be specified from `gitlab.yml`. mail_room loads this file first as
|
|
an ERB file and then loads the resulting YML as its configuration.
|
|
|
|
## resque.yml
|
|
|
|
This file is called `resque.yml` for historical reasons. We are **NOT**
|
|
using Resque at the moment. It is used to specify Redis configuration
|
|
values when a single database instance of Redis is desired.
|
|
|
|
# Advanced Redis configuration files
|
|
|
|
In more advanced configurations of Redis key-value storage, it is desirable
|
|
to separate the keys by lifecycle and intended use to ease provisioning and
|
|
management of scalable Redis clusters.
|
|
|
|
These settings provide routing and other configuration data (such as sentinel,
|
|
persistence policies, and other Redis customization) for connections
|
|
to Redis single instances, Redis sentinel, and Redis clusters.
|
|
|
|
If desired, the routing URL provided by these settings can be used with:
|
|
1. Unix Socket
|
|
1. named socket for each Redis instance desired.
|
|
2. `database number` for each Redis instance desired.
|
|
2. TCP Socket
|
|
1. `host name` or IP for each Redis instance desired
|
|
2. TCP port number for each Redis instance desired
|
|
3. `database number` for each Redis instance desired
|
|
|
|
## Example URL attribute formats for GitLab Redis `.yml` configuration files
|
|
* Unix Socket, default Redis database (0)
|
|
* `url: unix:/path/to/redis.sock`
|
|
* `url: unix:/path/to/redis.sock?db=`
|
|
* Unix Socket, Redis database 44
|
|
* `url: unix:/path/to/redis.sock?db=44`
|
|
* `url: unix:/path/to/redis.sock?extra=foo&db=44`
|
|
* TCP Socket for Redis on localhost, port 6379, database 33
|
|
* `url: redis://:mynewpassword@localhost:6379/33`
|
|
* TCP Socket for Redis on remote host `myserver`, port 6379, database 33
|
|
* `url: redis://:mynewpassword@myserver:6379/33`
|
|
|
|
## redis.cache.yml
|
|
|
|
If configured, `redis.cache.yml` overrides the
|
|
`resque.yml` settings to configure the Redis database instance
|
|
used for `Rails.cache` and other volatile non-persistent data which enhances
|
|
the performance of GitLab.
|
|
Settings here can be overridden by the environment variable
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CACHE_CONFIG_FILE` which provides
|
|
an alternate location for configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for the URL used to connect to the Redis instance
|
|
used for `cache` is:
|
|
1. URL from a configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CACHE_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
2. URL from `redis.cache.yml`
|
|
3. URL from a configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
4. URL from `resque.yml`
|
|
5. `redis://localhost:6380`
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for all other configuration settings for `cache`
|
|
are selected from only the first of the following files found (if a setting
|
|
is not provided in an earlier file, the remainder of the files are not
|
|
searched):
|
|
1. the configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CACHE_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
2. the configuration file `redis.cache.yml`
|
|
3. the configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
4. the configuration file `resque.yml`
|
|
|
|
## redis.queues.yml
|
|
|
|
If configured, `redis.queues.yml` overrides the
|
|
`resque.yml` settings to configure the Redis database instance
|
|
used for clients of `::Gitlab::Redis::Queues`.
|
|
These queues are intended to be the foundation
|
|
of reliable inter-process communication between modules, whether on the same
|
|
host node, or within a cluster. The primary clients of the queues are
|
|
SideKiq, Mailroom, CI Runner, Workhorse, and push services. Settings here can
|
|
be overridden by the environment variable
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_QUEUES_CONFIG_FILE` which provides an alternate location for
|
|
configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for the URL used to connect to the Redis instance
|
|
used for `queues` is:
|
|
1. URL from a configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_QUEUES_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
2. URL from `redis.queues.yml`
|
|
3. URL from a configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
4. URL from `resque.yml`
|
|
5. `redis://localhost:6381`
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for all other configuration settings for `queues`
|
|
are selected from only the first of the following files found (if a setting
|
|
is not provided in an earlier file, the remainder of the files are not
|
|
searched):
|
|
1. the configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_QUEUES_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
2. the configuration file `redis.queues.yml`
|
|
3. the configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
4. the configuration file `resque.yml`
|
|
|
|
## redis.shared_state.yml
|
|
|
|
If configured, `redis.shared_state.yml` overrides the
|
|
`resque.yml` settings to configure the Redis database instance
|
|
used for clients of `::Gitlab::Redis::SharedState` such as session state,
|
|
and rate limiting.
|
|
Settings here can be overridden by the environment variable
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_SHARED_STATE_CONFIG_FILE` which provides
|
|
an alternate location for configuration settings.
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for the URL used to connect to the Redis instance
|
|
used for `shared_state` is:
|
|
1. URL from a configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_SHARED_STATE_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
2. URL from `redis.shared_state.yml`
|
|
3. URL from a configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
4. URL from `resque.yml`
|
|
5. `redis://localhost:6382`
|
|
|
|
The order of precedence for all other configuration settings for `shared_state`
|
|
are selected from only the first of the following files found (if a setting
|
|
is not provided in an earlier file, the remainder of the files are not
|
|
searched):
|
|
1. the configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_SHARED_STATE_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
2. the configuration file `redis.shared_state.yml`
|
|
3. the configuration file pointed to by the
|
|
`GITLAB_REDIS_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable
|
|
4. the configuration file `resque.yml`
