# GitLab.com settings
In this page you will find information about the settings that are used on
[GitLab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
## SSH host keys fingerprints
Below are the fingerprints for GitLab.com's SSH host keys.
| Algorithm | MD5 | SHA256 |
| --------- | --- | ------- |
| DSA | `7a:47:81:3a:ee:89:89:64:33:ca:44:52:3d:30:d4:87` | `p8vZBUOR0XQz6sYiaWSMLmh0t9i8srqYKool/Xfdfqw` |
| ECDSA | `f1:d0:fb:46:73:7a:70:92:5a:ab:5d:ef:43:e2:1c:35` | `HbW3g8zUjNSksFbqTiUWPWg2Bq1x8xdGUrliXFzSnUw` |
| ED25519 | `2e:65:6a:c8:cf:bf:b2:8b:9a:bd:6d:9f:11:5c:12:16` | `eUXGGm1YGsMAS7vkcx6JOJdOGHPem5gQp4taiCfCLB8` |
| RSA | `b6:03:0e:39:97:9e:d0:e7:24:ce:a3:77:3e:01:42:09` | `ROQFvPThGrW4RuWLoL9tq9I9zJ42fK4XywyRtbOz/EQ` |
## Mail configuration
GitLab.com sends emails from the `mg.gitlab.com` domain via [Mailgun] and has
its own dedicated IP address (`198.61.254.240`).
## Alternative SSH port
GitLab.com can be reached via a [different SSH port][altssh] for `git+ssh`.
| Setting | Value |
| --------- | ------------------- |
| `Hostname` | `altssh.gitlab.com` |
| `Port` | `443` |
An example `~/.ssh/config` is the following:
```
Host gitlab.com
Hostname altssh.gitlab.com
User git
Port 443
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab
```
## GitLab Pages
Below are the settings for [GitLab Pages].
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| --------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------- |
| Domain name | `gitlab.io` | - |
| IP address | `35.185.44.232` | - |
| Custom domains support | yes | no |
| TLS certificates support | yes | no |
| Maximum size (uncompressed) | 1G | 100M |
NOTE: **Note:**
The maximum size of your Pages site is regulated by the artifacts maximum size
which is part of [GitLab CI/CD](#gitlab-cicd).
## GitLab CI/CD
Below are the current settings regarding [GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/README.md).
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Artifacts maximum size (uncompressed) | 1G | 100M |
| Artifacts [expiry time](../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsexpire_in) | kept forever | deleted after 30 days unless otherwise specified |
## Repository size limit
The maximum size your Git repository is allowed to be, including LFS. If you are near
or over the size limit, you can [reduce your repository size with Git](../project/repository/reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.md).
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Repository size including LFS | 10G | Unlimited |
## IP range
GitLab.com, CI/CD, and related services are deployed into Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Any
IP based firewall can be configured by looking up all
[IP address ranges or CIDR blocks for GCP](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/faq#where_can_i_find_product_name_short_ip_ranges).
[Static endpoints](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/5071) are being considered.
## Shared Runners
Shared Runners on GitLab.com run in [autoscale mode] and powered by Google Cloud Platform.
Autoscaling means reduced waiting times to spin up CI/CD jobs, and isolated VMs for each project,
thus maximizing security. They're free to use for public open source projects and limited
to 2000 CI minutes per month per group for private projects. More minutes
[can be purchased](../../subscriptions/index.md#extra-shared-runners-pipeline-minutes), if
needed. Read about all [GitLab.com plans](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
All your CI/CD jobs run on [n1-standard-1 instances](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types) with 3.75GB of RAM, CoreOS and the latest Docker Engine
installed. Instances provide 1 vCPU and 25GB of HDD disk space. The default
region of the VMs is US East1.
Each instance is used only for one job, this ensures any sensitive data left on the system can't be accessed by other people their CI jobs.
Jobs handled by the shared Runners on GitLab.com (`shared-runners-manager-X.gitlab.com`),
**will be timed out after 3 hours**, regardless of the timeout configured in a
project. Check the issues [4010] and [4070] for the reference.
Below are the shared Runners settings.
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
| [GitLab Runner] | [Runner versions dashboard][ci_version_dashboard] | - |
| Executor | `docker+machine` | - |
| Default Docker image | `ruby:2.5` | - |
| `privileged` (run [Docker in Docker]) | `true` | `false` |
[ci_version_dashboard]: https://dashboards.gitlab.com/dashboard/db/ci?from=now-1h&to=now&refresh=5m&orgId=1&panelId=12&fullscreen&theme=light

## Sidekiq
GitLab.com runs [Sidekiq][sidekiq] with arguments `--timeout=4 --concurrency=4`
and the following environment variables:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|-------- |----------- |-------- |
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_MAX_RSS` | `1000000` | `2000000` |
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_SHUTDOWN_SIGNAL` | `SIGKILL` | - |
| `SIDEKIQ_LOG_ARGUMENTS` | `1` | - |

synchronizations, run scheduled pipelines, etc.:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|-------- |------------- |------------- |
| `pipeline_schedule_worker` | `19 * * * *` | `19 * * * *` |
## PostgreSQL
GitLab.com being a fairly large installation of GitLab means we have changed
various PostgreSQL settings to better suit our needs. For example, we use
streaming replication and servers in hot-standby mode to balance queries across
different database servers.
The list of GitLab.com specific settings (and their defaults) is as follows:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|:------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------|
| archive_command | `/usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /opt/wal-e/bin/wal-e wal-push %p` | empty |
| archive_mode | on | off |
| autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor | 0.01 | 0.01 |
| autovacuum_max_workers | 6 | 3 |
| autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit | 1000 | -1 |
| autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor | 0.01 | 0.02 |
| checkpoint_completion_target | 0.7 | 0.9 |
| checkpoint_segments | 32 | 10 |
| effective_cache_size | 338688MB | Based on how much memory is available |
| hot_standby | on | off |
| hot_standby_feedback | on | off |
| log_autovacuum_min_duration | 0 | -1 |
| log_checkpoints | on | off |
| log_line_prefix | `%t [%p]: [%l-1]` | empty |
| log_min_duration_statement | 1000 | -1 |
| log_temp_files | 0 | -1 |
| maintenance_work_mem | 2048MB | 16 MB |
| max_replication_slots | 5 | 0 |
| max_wal_senders | 32 | 0 |
| max_wal_size | 5GB | 1GB |
| shared_buffers | 112896MB | Based on how much memory is available |
| shared_preload_libraries | pg_stat_statements | empty |
| shmall | 30146560 | Based on the server's capabilities |
| shmmax | 123480309760 | Based on the server's capabilities |
| wal_buffers | 16MB | -1 |
| wal_keep_segments | 512 | 10 |
| wal_level | replica | minimal |
| statement_timeout | 15s | 60s |
| idle_in_transaction_session_timeout | 60s | 60s |
Some of these settings are in the process being adjusted. For example, the value
for `shared_buffers` is quite high and as such we are looking into adjusting it.
More information on this particular change can be found at
<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/1555>. An up to date list
of proposed changes can be found at

## Unicorn
GitLab.com adjusts the memory limits for the [unicorn-worker-killer][unicorn-worker-killer] gem.
Base default:
- `memory_limit_min` = 750MiB
- `memory_limit_max` = 1024MiB
Web front-ends:
- `memory_limit_min` = 1024MiB
- `memory_limit_max` = 1280MiB
## GitLab.com-specific rate limits
NOTE: **Note:**
See [Rate limits](../../security/rate_limits.md) for administrator
documentation.
IP blocks usually happen when GitLab.com receives unusual traffic from a single
IP address that the system views as potentially malicious based on rate limit
settings. After the unusual traffic ceases, the IP address will be automatically
released depending on the type of block, as described below.
If you receive a `403 Forbidden` error for all requests to GitLab.com, please
check for any automated processes that may be triggering a block. For
assistance, contact [GitLab Support](https://support.gitlab.com)
with details, such as the affected IP address.
### HAProxy API throttle
GitLab.com responds with HTTP status code `429` to API requests that exceed 10
requests
per second per IP address.
The following example headers are included for all API requests:
```
RateLimit-Limit: 600
RateLimit-Observed: 6
RateLimit-Remaining: 594
RateLimit-Reset: 1563325137
RateLimit-ResetTime: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 00:58:57 GMT
```
Source:
- Search for `rate_limit_http_rate_per_minute` and `rate_limit_sessions_per_second` in [GitLab.com's current HAProxy settings](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-cookbooks/gitlab-haproxy/blob/master/attributes/default.rb).
### Rack Attack initializer
Details of rate limits enforced by [Rack Attack](../../security/rack_attack.md).
#### Protected paths throttle
GitLab.com responds with HTTP status code `429` to POST requests at protected
paths that exceed 10 requests per **minute** per IP address.
See the source below for which paths are protected. This includes user creation,
user confirmation, user sign in, and password reset.
This header is included in responses to blocked requests:
```
Retry-After: 60
```
Source:
- Search for `rate_limit_requests_per_period`, `rate_limit_period`, and `rack_attack_protected_paths` in [GitLab.com's current Rails app settings](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/files/gitlab-cookbooks/gitlab/attributes/default.rb).
#### Git and container registry failed authentication ban
GitLab.com responds with HTTP status code `403` for 1 hour, if 30 failed
authentication requests were received in a 3-minute period from a single IP address.
This applies only to Git requests and container registry (`/jwt/auth`) requests
(combined).
This limit:
- Is reset by requests that authenticate successfully. For example, 29
failed authentication requests followed by 1 successful request, followed by 29
more failed authentication requests would not trigger a ban.
- Does not apply to JWT requests authenticated by `gitlab-ci-token`.
No response headers are provided.
### Admin Area settings
GitLab.com:
- Has [rate limits on raw endpoints](../../user/admin_area/settings/rate_limits_on_raw_endpoints.md)
set to the default.
- Does not have the user and IP rate limits settings enabled.
## GitLab.com at scale
In addition to the GitLab Enterprise Edition Omnibus install, GitLab.com uses
the following applications and settings to achieve scale. All settings are
publicly available at [chef cookbooks](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-cookbooks).
