# Package defaults **(FREE SELF)**

Unless configuration is specified in the `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` file,
the package assumes the defaults as noted below.

## Ports

See the table below for the list of ports that the Omnibus GitLab assigns
by default:

Legend:

- `Component` - Name of the component.
- `On by default` - Is the component running by default.
- `Communicates via` - How the component talks with the other components.
- `Alternative` - If it is possible to configure the component to use different type of communication. The type is listed with default port used in that case.
- `Connection port` - Port on which the component communicates.

GitLab also expects a file system to be ready for the storage of Git repositories
and various other files.

If you are using NFS (Network File System), files are carried
over a network which requires, based on implementation, ports `111` and
`2049` to be open.

NOTE:
In some cases, the GitLab Registry is automatically enabled by default. See [our documentation](../packages/container_registry.md) for more details.

 [^Consul-notes]: If using additional Consul functionality, more ports may need to be opened. See the [official documentation](https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/docs/install/ports#ports-table) for the list.

 [^Sidekiq-health]: If Sidekiq health check settings are not set, they default to the Sidekiq metrics exporter settings. This default is deprecated and is set to be removed in [GitLab 15.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/347509).
