|
|
[GitLab SaaS](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) customers.
|
|
|
|
See some of these settings on the [instance configuration page](https://gitlab.com/help/instance_configuration) of GitLab.com.
|
|
|
|

|
## SSH key restrictions
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com uses the default [SSH key restrictions](../../security/ssh_keys_restrictions.md).
|
|
|
|
## SSH host keys fingerprints
|
|
|
|
Below are the fingerprints for SSH host keys on GitLab.com. The first time you
|
|
connect to a GitLab.com repository, one of these keys is displayed in the output.
|
|
|
|
| Algorithm | MD5 (deprecated) | SHA256 |
|
|
|------------------|------------------|---------|
|
|
| ED25519 | `2e:65:6a:c8:cf:bf:b2:8b:9a:bd:6d:9f:11:5c:12:16` | `eUXGGm1YGsMAS7vkcx6JOJdOGHPem5gQp4taiCfCLB8` |

```
|
|
|
|
## Mail configuration
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com sends emails from the `mg.gitlab.com` domain by using [Mailgun](https://www.mailgun.com/),
|
|
and has its own dedicated IP addresses:
|
|
|
|
- `161.38.202.219`
|
|
- `159.135.226.146`
|
|
- `192.237.158.143`
|
|
- `198.61.254.136`
|
|
- `23.253.183.236`
|
|
- `69.72.35.190`
|
|
|
|
The IP addresses for `mg.gitlab.com` are subject to change at any time.
|
|
|
|
### Service Desk custom mailbox
|
|
|
|
On GitLab.com, there's a mailbox configured for Service Desk with the email address:
|
|
`contact-project+%{key}@incoming.gitlab.com`. To use this mailbox, configure the
|
|
[custom suffix](../project/service_desk.md#configuring-a-custom-email-address-suffix) in project
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
## Backups
|
|
|
|
[See our backup strategy](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/production/#backups).
|
|
|
|
To back up an entire project on GitLab.com, you can export it either:
|
|
|
|
- [Through the UI](../project/settings/import_export.md).
|
|
- [Through the API](../../api/project_import_export.md#schedule-an-export). You
|
|
can also use the API to programmatically upload exports to a storage platform,
|
|
such as Amazon S3.
|
|
|
|
With exports, be aware of [what is and is not](../project/settings/import_export.md#items-that-are-exported)
|
|
included in a project export.
|
|
|
|
GitLab is built on Git, so you can back up just the repository of a project by
|
|
[cloning](../../gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md#clone-a-repository) it to
|
|
another computer.
|
|
Similarly, you can clone a project's wiki to back it up. All files
|
|
[uploaded after August 22, 2020](../project/wiki/index.md#create-a-new-wiki-page)
|
|
are included when cloning.
|
|
|
|
## Delayed project deletion **(PREMIUM SAAS)**
|
|
|
|
Top-level groups created after August 12, 2021 have delayed project deletion enabled by default.
|
|
Projects are permanently deleted after a seven-day delay.
|
|
|
|
If you are on:
|
|
|
|
- Premium tier and above, you can disable this by changing the [group setting](../group/manage.md#enable-delayed-project-deletion).
|
|
- Free tier, you cannot disable this setting or restore projects.
|
|
|
|
## Inactive project deletion
|
|
|
|
[Inactive project deletion](../../administration/inactive_project_deletion.md) is disabled on GitLab.com.
|
|
|
|
## Alternative SSH port
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com can be reached by using a [different SSH port](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2016/02/18/gitlab-dot-com-now-supports-an-alternate-git-plus-ssh-port/) for `git+ssh`.
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Value |
|
|
|------------|---------------------|
|
|
| `Hostname` | `altssh.gitlab.com` |
|
|
| `Port` | `443` |
|
|
|
|
An example `~/.ssh/config` is the following:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
Host gitlab.com
|
|
Hostname altssh.gitlab.com
|
|
User git
|
|
Port 443
|
|
PreferredAuthentications publickey
|
|
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## GitLab Pages
|
|
|
|
Below are the settings for [GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/).
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |

|
|
|
|
The maximum size of your Pages site is also regulated by the artifacts maximum size,
|
|
which is part of [GitLab CI/CD](#gitlab-cicd).
|
|
|
|
There are also [rate limits set for GitLab Pages](#gitlabcom-specific-rate-limits).
|
|
|

|
|
## Account and limit settings
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com has the following account limits enabled. If a setting is not listed,
|
|
the default value [is the same as for self-managed instances](../admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.md):
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com default |
|
|
|-------------------------------|--------------------|
|
|
| [Repository size including LFS](../admin_area/settings/account_and_limit_settings.md#repository-size-limit) | 10 GB |
|
|
| [Maximum import size](../project/settings/import_export.md#maximum-import-file-size) | 5 GB |
|
|
| Maximum attachment size | 10 MB |
|
|
|
|
If you are near or over the repository size limit, you can either
|
|
[reduce your repository size with Git](../project/repository/reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.md)
|
|
or [purchase additional storage](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/licensing-faq/#can-i-buy-more-storage).
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
`git push` and GitLab project imports are limited to 5 GB per request through
|
|
Cloudflare. Git LFS and imports other than a file upload are not affected by
|
|
this limit. Repository limits apply to both public and private projects.
|
|
|
|
## IP range
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com uses the IP ranges `34.74.90.64/28` and `34.74.226.0/24` for traffic from its Web/API
|
|
fleet. This whole range is solely allocated to GitLab. You can expect connections from webhooks or repository mirroring to come
|
|
from those IPs and allow them.
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com is fronted by Cloudflare. For incoming connections to GitLab.com, you might need to allow 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.
|
|
All GitLab.com shared runners are deployed into Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in `us-east1`.
|
|
Any IP-based firewall can be configured by looking up
|
|
[IP address ranges or CIDR blocks for GCP](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/faq#find_ip_range).
|
|
|
|
## Hostname list
|
|
|
|
Add these hostnames when you configure allow-lists in local HTTP(S) proxies,
|
|
or other web-blocking software that governs end-user computers. Pages on
|
|
GitLab.com load content from these hostnames:
|
|
|
|
- `gitlab.com`
|
|
- `*.gitlab.com`
|
|
- `*.gitlab-static.net`
|
|
- `*.gitlab.io`
|
|
- `*.gitlab.net`
|
|
|
|
Documentation and Company pages served over `docs.gitlab.com` and `about.gitlab.com`
|
|
also load certain page content directly from common public CDN hostnames.
|
|
|
|
## Webhooks
|
|
|
|
The following limits apply for [webhooks](../project/integrations/webhooks.md).
|
|
|
|
### Rate limits
|
|
|
|
The number of times a webhook can be called per minute, per top-level namespace.
|
|
The limit varies depending on your plan and the number of seats in your subscription.
|
|
|
|
| Plan | Default for GitLab.com |
|
|
|----------------------|-------------------------|
|
|
| Free | `500` |
|
|

| Setting | Default for GitLab.com |
|
|
|----------------------|-------------------------|
|
|
| Number of webhooks | `100` per project, `50` per group |
|
|
| Maximum payload size | 25 MB |
|
|
|
|
For self-managed instance limits, see
|
|
[Webhook rate limit](../../administration/instance_limits.md#webhook-rate-limit)
|
|
and [Number of webhooks](../../administration/instance_limits.md#number-of-webhooks).
|
|
|
|
## Runner SaaS
|
|
|
|
Runner SaaS is the hosted, secure, and managed build environment you can use to run CI/CD jobs for your GitLab.com hosted project.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see [Runner SaaS](../../ci/runners/index.md).
|
|
|
|
## Sidekiq
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com runs [Sidekiq](https://sidekiq.org) with arguments `--timeout=4 --concurrency=4`
|
|
and the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
|----------------------------------------|-------------|-----------|
|
|
| `SIDEKIQ_DAEMON_MEMORY_KILLER` | - | `1` |
|
|
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_MAX_RSS` | `2000000` | `2000000` |

|
|
| `SIDEKIQ_LOG_ARGUMENTS` | `1` | `1` |
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
The `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_MAX_RSS` setting is `16000000` on Sidekiq import
|
|
nodes and Sidekiq export nodes.
|
|
|
|
## 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 |

|
|
| `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 we are
|
|
[considering adjusting it](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/reliability/-/issues/4985).
|
|
|
|
## Puma
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com uses the default of 60 seconds for [Puma request timeouts](../../administration/operations/puma.md#change-the-worker-timeout).
|
|
|
|
## Merge request reviewer maximum
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/91406) in GitLab 15.3.
|
|
|
|
A maximum of 100 reviewers can be assigned to a merge request.
|
|
|
|
## GitLab.com-specific rate limits
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
See [Rate limits](../../security/rate_limits.md) for administrator
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
When a request is rate limited, GitLab responds with a `429` status
|
|
code. The client should wait before attempting the request again. There
|
|
are also informational headers with this response detailed in
|
|
[rate limiting responses](#rate-limiting-responses).
|
|
|
|
The following table describes the rate limits for GitLab.com, both before and
|
|
after the limits change in January, 2021:
|
|
|
|
| Rate limit | From 2021-02-12 | From 2022-02-03 |
|
|
|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------|:----------------------------------------|

|
|
|
|
GitLab can rate-limit requests at several layers. The rate limits listed here
|
|
are configured in the application. These limits are the most
|
|
restrictive per IP address. To learn more about the rate limiting
|
|
for GitLab.com, read our runbook page
|
|
[Overview of rate limits for GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/tree/master/docs/rate-limiting).
|
|
|
|
### Rate limiting responses
|
|
|
|
For information on rate limiting responses, see:
|
|
|
|
- [List of headers on responses to blocked requests](../admin_area/settings/user_and_ip_rate_limits.md#response-headers).
|
|
- [Customizable response text](../admin_area/settings/user_and_ip_rate_limits.md#use-a-custom-rate-limit-response).
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
[User and IP rate limits](../admin_area/settings/user_and_ip_rate_limits.md#response-headers)
|
|
includes a list of the headers responded to blocked requests.
|
|
|
|
See [Protected Paths](../admin_area/settings/protected_paths.md) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### IP blocks
|
|
|
|
IP blocks can occur when GitLab.com receives unusual traffic from a single
|
|
IP address that the system views as potentially malicious. This can be based on
|
|
rate limit settings. After the unusual traffic ceases, the IP address is
|
|
automatically released depending on the type of block, as described in a
|
|
following section.
|
|
|
|
If you receive a `403 Forbidden` error for all requests to GitLab.com,
|
|
check for any automated processes that may be triggering a block. For
|
|
assistance, contact [GitLab Support](https://support.gitlab.com)
|
|
with details, such as the affected IP address.
|
|
|
|
#### Git and container registry failed authentication ban
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com responds with HTTP status code `403` for 1 hour, if 30 failed
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
No response headers are provided.
|
|
|
|
### Pagination response headers
|
|
|
|
For performance reasons, if a query returns more than 10,000 records, [GitLab excludes some headers](../../api/index.md#pagination-response-headers).
|
|
|
|
### Visibility settings
|
|
|
|
Projects, groups, and snippets have the
|
|
[Internal visibility](../public_access.md#internal-projects-and-groups)
|
|
setting [disabled on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12388).
|
|
|
|
### SSH maximum number of connections
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com defines the maximum number of concurrent, unauthenticated SSH
|
|
connections by using the [MaxStartups setting](https://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).
|
|
|
|
### Import/export
|
|
|
|
To help avoid abuse, project and group imports, exports, and export downloads
|
|
are rate limited. See [Project import/export rate limits](../../user/project/settings/import_export.md#rate-limits) and [Group import/export rate limits](../../user/group/settings/import_export.md#rate-limits)
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
### Non-configurable limits
|
|
|
|
See [non-configurable limits](../../security/rate_limits.md#non-configurable-limits)
|
|
for information on rate limits that are not configurable, and therefore also
|
|
used on GitLab.com.
|
|
|
|
## 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/docs/logging#what-are-we-logging)

|
|
|
|
### Job logs
|
|
|
|
By default, GitLab does not expire job logs. Job logs are retained indefinitely,
|
|
and can't be configured on GitLab.com to expire. You can erase job logs
|
|
[manually with the Jobs API](../../api/jobs.md#erase-a-job) or by
|
|
[deleting a pipeline](../../ci/pipelines/index.md#delete-a-pipeline).
|
|
|
|
## GitLab.com at scale
