## Enable or disable GitLab CI
|
||
|
|
||
|
_To effectively use GitLab CI, you need a valid [`.gitlab-ci.yml`](yaml/README.md)
|
||
|
file present at the root directory of your project and a
|
||
|
[runner](runners/README.md) properly set up. You can read our
|
||
|
[quick start guide](quick_start/README.md) to get you started._
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are using an external CI server like Jenkins or Drone CI, it is advised
|
||
|
to disable GitLab CI in order to not have any conflicts with the commits status
|
||
|
API.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
As of GitLab 8.2, GitLab CI is mainly exposed via the `/builds` page of a
|
||
|
project. Disabling GitLab CI in a project does not delete any previous builds.
|
||
|
In fact, the `/builds` page can still be accessed, although it's hidden from
|
||
|
the left sidebar menu.
|
||
|
|
||
|
GitLab CI is enabled by default on new installations and can be disabled either
|
||
|
individually under each project's settings, or site-wide by modifying the
|
||
|
settings in `gitlab.yml` and `gitlab.rb` for source and Omnibus installations
|
||
|
respectively.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Per-project user setting
|
||
|
|
||
|
The setting to enable or disable GitLab CI can be found with the name **Builds**
|
||
|
under the **Features** area of a project's settings along with **Issues**,
|
||
|
**Merge Requests**, **Wiki** and **Snippets**. Select or deselect the checkbox
|
||
|
and hit **Save** for the settings to take effect.

||
|
### Site-wide administrator setting
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can disable GitLab CI site-wide, by modifying the settings in `gitlab.yml`
|
||
|
and `gitlab.rb` for source and Omnibus installations respectively.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Two things to note:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Disabling GitLab CI, will affect only newly-created projects. Projects that
|
||
|
had it enabled prior to this modification, will work as before.
|
||
|
1. Even if you disable GitLab CI, users will still be able to enable it in the
|
||
|
project's settings.
|
||
|
|

|

|
|
||
|
For installations from source, open `gitlab.yml` with your editor and set
|
||
|
`builds` to `false`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```yaml
|
||
|
## Default project features settings
|
||
|
default_projects_features:
|
||
|
issues: true
|
||
|
merge_requests: true
|
||
|
wiki: true
|
||
|
snippets: false
|
||
|
builds: false
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Save the file and restart GitLab: `sudo service gitlab restart`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For Omnibus installations, edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the line:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
gitlab-rails['gitlab_default_projects_features_builds'] = false
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Save the file and reconfigure GitLab: `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure`.
