Performing Operations in GitLab
Keep your GitLab instance up and running smoothly.
- Clean up Redis sessions: Prior to GitLab 7.3, user sessions did not automatically expire from Redis. If you have been running a large GitLab server (thousands of users) since before GitLab 7.3 we recommend cleaning up stale sessions to compact the Redis database after you upgrade to GitLab 7.3.
- Moving repositories: Moving all repositories managed by GitLab to another file system or another server.
- Sidekiq MemoryKiller: Configure Sidekiq MemoryKiller to restart Sidekiq.
- Extra Sidekiq operations: Configure an extra set of Sidekiq processes to ensure certain queues always have dedicated workers, no matter the amount of jobs that need to be processed. (STARTER ONLY)
- Unicorn: Understand Unicorn and unicorn-worker-killer.
- Speed up SSH operations by Authorizing SSH users via a fast, indexed lookup to the GitLab database, and/or by doing away with user SSH keys stored on GitLab entirely in favor of SSH certificates.
- Filesystem Performance Benchmarking: Filesystem performance can have a big impact on GitLab performance, especially for actions that read or write Git repositories. This information will help benchmark filesystem performance against known good and bad real-world systems.
