Environment Variables
Introduction
Commonly people configure GitLab via the gitlab.rb configuration file in the Omnibus package.
But if you prefer to use environment variables we allow that too.
Supported environment variables
Variable | Type | Explanation |
---|---|---|
GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD | string | sets the password for the root user on installation |
GITLAB_HOST | url | hostname of the GitLab server includes http or https |
RAILS_ENV | production / development / staging / test | Rails environment |
DATABASE_URL | url | For example: postgresql://localhost/blog_development?pool=5 |
GITLAB_EMAIL_FROM | Email address used in the "From" field in mails sent by GitLab | |
GITLAB_EMAIL_DISPLAY_NAME | string | Name used in the "From" field in mails sent by GitLab |
GITLAB_EMAIL_REPLY_TO | Email address used in the "Reply-To" field in mails sent by GitLab |
Complete database variables
As explained in the Heroku documentation the DATABASE_URL doesn't let you set:
- adapter
- database
- username
- password
- host
- port
To do so please cp config/database.yml.env config/database.yml
and use the following variables:
Variable | Default |
---|---|
GITLAB_DATABASE_ADAPTER | postgresql |
GITLAB_DATABASE_ENCODING | unicode |
GITLAB_DATABASE_DATABASE | gitlab_#{ENV['RAILS_ENV'] |
GITLAB_DATABASE_POOL | 10 |
GITLAB_DATABASE_USERNAME | root |
GITLAB_DATABASE_PASSWORD | |
GITLAB_DATABASE_HOST | localhost |
GITLAB_DATABASE_PORT | 5432 |
Adding more variables
We welcome merge requests to make more settings configurable via variables. Please stick to the naming scheme "GITLAB_#{name 1_settings.rb in upper case}".
Omnibus configuration
It's possible to preconfigure the GitLab image by adding the environment variable: GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG
to docker run command.
For more information see the 'preconfigure-docker-container' section in the Omnibus documentation.
