Performing Operations in GitLab

Keep your GitLab instance up and running smoothly.

Clean up Redis sessions: Prior to GitLab 7.3, user sessions did not automatically expire from Redis. If you have been running a large GitLab server (thousands of users) since before GitLab 7.3 we recommend cleaning up stale sessions to compact the Redis database after you upgrade to GitLab 7.3.
Moving repositories: Moving all repositories managed by GitLab to another file system or another server.
Sidekiq MemoryKiller: Configure Sidekiq MemoryKiller to restart Sidekiq.
Unicorn: Understand Unicorn and unicorn-worker-killer.
Speed up SSH operations by Authorizing SSH users via a fast, indexed lookup to the GitLab database, and/or by doing away with user SSH keys stored on GitLab entirely in favor of SSH certificates.
