## SSH host keys fingerprints
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
Below are the fingerprints for GitLab.com's SSH host keys. The first time you connect
to a GitLab.com repository, you'll see one of these keys in the output.

## Repository size limit
2018-11-18 11:00:15 +05:30
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 ).
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Repository size including LFS | 10G | Unlimited |
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
`git push` and GitLab project imports are limited to 5GB per request. Git LFS and imports other than a file upload are not affected by this limit.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
## IP range
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
GitLab.com is using the IP range `34.74.90.64/28` for traffic from its Web/API
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
fleet. This whole range is solely allocated to GitLab. You can expect connections from webhooks or repository mirroring to come
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
from those IPs and whitelist them.
2020-04-22 19:07:51 +05:30
GitLab.com is fronted by Cloudflare. For incoming connections to GitLab.com you might need to whitelist CIDR blocks of Cloudflare ([IPv4](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v4) and [IPv6 ](https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v6 ))
For outgoing connections from CI/CD runners we are not providing static IP addresses.
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
All our runners are deployed into Google Cloud Platform (GCP) - any IP based
firewall can be configured by looking up all
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
[IP address ranges or CIDR blocks for GCP ](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/faq#where_can_i_find_product_name_short_ip_ranges ).
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
## Maximum number of webhooks
A limit of:
- 100 webhooks applies to projects.
- 50 webhooks applies to groups. ** (BRONZE ONLY)**

## Shared Runners
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
GitLab offers Linux and Windows shared runners hosted on GitLab.com for executing your pipelines.
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
NOTE: **Note:**
Shared Runners provided by GitLab are **not** configurable. Consider [installing your own Runner ](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/ ) if you have specific configuration needs.
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
### Linux Shared Runners
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
Linux Shared Runners on GitLab.com run in [autoscale mode ](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/autoscale.html ) and are powered by Google Cloud Platform.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
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
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
[can be purchased ](../../subscriptions/index.md#purchasing-additional-ci-minutes ), if
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
needed. Read about all [GitLab.com plans ](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ ).
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
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
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
installed. Instances provide 1 vCPU and 25GB of HDD disk space. The default
region of the VMs is US East1.
2018-11-20 20:47:30 +05:30
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.
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
2020-01-01 13:55:28 +05:30
The `gitlab-shared-runners-manager-X.gitlab.com` fleet of Runners are dedicated for GitLab projects as well as community forks of them. They use a slightly larger machine type (n1-standard-2) and have a bigger SSD disk size. They will not run untagged jobs and unlike the general fleet of shared Runners, the instances are re-used up to 40 times.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
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
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
project. Check the issues [4010 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/4010 ) and [4070 ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/4070 ) for the reference.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
Below are the shared Runners settings.

#### Pre-clone script
Linux Shared Runners on GitLab.com provide a way to run commands in a CI
job before the Runner attempts to run `git init` and `git fetch` to
download a GitLab repository. The
[pre_clone_script ](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/advanced-configuration.html#the-runners-section )
can be used for:
- Seeding the build directory with repository data
- Sending a request to a server
- Downloading assets from a CDN
- Any other commands that must run before the `git init`
To use this feature, define a [CI/CD variable ](../../ci/variables/README.md#create-a-custom-variable-in-the-ui ) called
`CI_PRE_CLONE_SCRIPT` that contains a bash script.
[This example ](../../development/pipelines.md#pre-clone-step )
demonstrates how you might use a pre-clone step to seed the build
directory.

### Windows Shared Runners (beta)
The Windows Shared Runners are currently in
[beta ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#beta ) and should not be used
for production workloads.
During the beta period, the
[shared runner pipeline quota ](../admin_area/settings/continuous_integration.md#shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota-starter-only )
will apply for groups and projects in the same way as Linux Runners.
This may change when the beta period ends, as discussed in this
[related issue ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/30834 ).
Windows Shared Runners on GitLab.com automatically autoscale by
launching virtual machines on the Google Cloud Platform. This solution uses
a new [autoscaling driver ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler/tree/master/docs/readme.md )
developed by GitLab for the [custom executor ](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/custom.html ).
Windows Shared Runners execute your CI/CD jobs on `n1-standard-2` instances with 2
vCPUs and 7.5GB RAM. You can find a full list of available Windows packages in the
[package documentation ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/shared-runners/images/gcp/windows-containers/blob/master/cookbooks/preinstalled-software/README.md ).
We want to keep iterating to get Windows Shared Runners in a stable state and
[generally available ](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#generally-available-ga ).
You can follow our work towards this goal in the
[related epic ](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2162 ).
#### Configuration
The full contents of our `config.toml` are:
NOTE: **Note:**
Settings that are not public are shown as `X` .
```toml
concurrent = X
check_interval = 3
[[runners]]
name = "windows-runner"
url = "https://gitlab.com/"
token = "TOKEN"
executor = "custom"
builds_dir = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\builds"
cache_dir = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\cache"
shell = "powershell"
[runners.custom]
config_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
config_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "config"]
prepare_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
prepare_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "prepare"]
run_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
run_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "run"]
cleanup_exec = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.exe"
cleanup_args = ["--config", "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\config.toml", "custom", "cleanup"]
```
The full contents of our `autoscaler/config.toml` are:
```toml
Provider = "gcp"
Executor = "winrm"
OS = "windows"
LogLevel = "info"
LogFormat = "text"
LogFile = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\autoscaler.log"
VMTag = "windows"
[GCP]
ServiceAccountFile = "PATH"
Project = "some-project-df9323"
Zone = "us-east1-c"
MachineType = "n1-standard-2"
Image = "IMAGE"
DiskSize = 50
DiskType = "pd-standard"
Subnetwork = "default"
Network = "default"

Username = "gitlab_runner"
[WinRM]
MaximumTimeout = 3600
ExecutionMaxRetries = 0
[ProviderCache]
Enabled = true
Directory = "C:\\GitLab-Runner\\autoscaler\\machines"
```
#### Example
Below is a simple `.gitlab-ci.yml` file to show how to start using the
Windows Shared Runners:
```yaml
.shared_windows_runners:
tags:
- shared-windows
- windows
- windows-1809
stages:
- build
- test
before_script:
- Set-Variable -Name "time" -Value (date -Format "%H:%m")
- echo ${time}
- echo "started by ${GITLAB_USER_NAME}"
build:
extends:
- .shared_windows_runners
stage: build
script:
- echo "running scripts in the build job"
test:
extends:
- .shared_windows_runners
stage: test
script:
- echo "running scripts in the test job"
```
#### Limitations and known issues
- All the limitations mentioned in our [beta
definition](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/#beta).
- The average provisioning time for a new Windows VM is 5 minutes.
This means that you may notice slower build start times
on the Windows Shared Runner fleet during the beta. In a future
release we will update the autoscaler to enable
the pre-provisioning of virtual machines. This will significantly reduce
the time it takes to provision a VM on the Windows fleet. You can
follow along in the [related issue ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/ci-cd/custom-executor-drivers/autoscaler/issues/32 ).
- The Windows Shared Runner fleet may be unavailable occasionally
for maintenance or updates.
- The Windows Shared Runner virtual machine instances do not use the
GitLab Docker executor. This means that you will not be able to specify
[`image` ](../../ci/yaml/README.md#image ) or [`services` ](../../ci/yaml/README.md#services ) in
your pipeline configuration.
- For the beta release, we have included a set of software packages in
the base VM image. If your CI job requires additional software that's
not included in this list, then you will need to add installation
commands to [`before_script` ](../../ci/yaml/README.md#before_script-and-after_script ) or [`script` ](../../ci/yaml/README.md#script ) to install the required
software. Note that each job runs on a new VM instance, so the
installation of additional software packages needs to be repeated for
each job in your pipeline.
- The job may stay in a pending state for longer than the
Linux shared Runners.
- There is the possibility that we introduce breaking changes which will
require updates to pipelines that are using the Windows Shared Runner
fleet.

## 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 |
2019-09-30 21:07:59 +05:30
| log_line_prefix | `%t [%p]: [%l-1]` | empty |
2018-05-09 12:01:36 +05:30
| 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.

## 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
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
assistance, contact [GitLab Support ](https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us )
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
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:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```plaintext
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
RateLimit-Limit: 600
RateLimit-Observed: 6
RateLimit-Remaining: 594
RateLimit-Reset: 1563325137
RateLimit-ResetTime: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 00:58:57 GMT
```

- 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:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```plaintext
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
Retry-After: 60
```
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
See [Protected Paths ](../admin_area/settings/protected_paths.md ) for more details.

#### Git and container registry failed authentication ban
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
GitLab.com responds with HTTP status code `403` for 1 hour, if 30 failed
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
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).
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
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` .
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
No response headers are provided.
### Admin Area settings
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
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.

### Visibility settings
On GitLab.com, projects, groups, and snippets created
As of GitLab 12.2 (July 2019), projects, groups, and snippets have the
[**Internal** visibility ](../../public_access/public_access.md#internal-projects ) setting [disabled on GitLab.com ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/12388 ).
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
### SSH maximum number of connections
GitLab.com defines the maximum number of concurrent, unauthenticated SSH connections by
using the [MaxStartups setting ](http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5#MaxStartups ).
If more than the maximum number of allowed connections occur concurrently, they are
dropped and users get
[an `ssh_exchange_identification` error ](../../topics/git/troubleshooting_git.md#ssh_exchange_identification-error ).

## GitLab.com Logging
We use [Fluentd ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#fluentd ) to parse our logs. Fluentd sends our logs to
[Stackdriver Logging ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#stackdriver ) and [Cloud Pub/Sub ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#cloud-pubsub ).
Stackdriver is used for storing logs long-term in Google Cold Storage (GCS). Cloud Pub/Sub
is used to forward logs to an [Elastic cluster ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#elastic ) using [pubsubbeat ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#pubsubbeat-vms ).
You can view more information in our runbooks such as:
- A [detailed list of what we're logging ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#what-are-we-logging )
- Our [current log retention policies ](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/tree/master/logging/doc#retention )
