# GitLab.com settings
|
|
|
|
In this page you will find information about the settings that are used on
|
|
[GitLab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing).
|
|
|
|
## SSH host keys fingerprints
|
|
|
|
Below are the fingerprints for GitLab.com's SSH host keys.
|
|
|
|
| Algorithm | MD5 | SHA256 |
|
|
| --------- | --- | ------- |
|
|
| DSA | `7a:47:81:3a:ee:89:89:64:33:ca:44:52:3d:30:d4:87` | `p8vZBUOR0XQz6sYiaWSMLmh0t9i8srqYKool/Xfdfqw` |
|
|
| ECDSA | `f1:d0:fb:46:73:7a:70:92:5a:ab:5d:ef:43:e2:1c:35` | `HbW3g8zUjNSksFbqTiUWPWg2Bq1x8xdGUrliXFzSnUw` |
|
|
| ED25519 | `2e:65:6a:c8:cf:bf:b2:8b:9a:bd:6d:9f:11:5c:12:16` | `eUXGGm1YGsMAS7vkcx6JOJdOGHPem5gQp4taiCfCLB8` |
|
|
| RSA | `b6:03:0e:39:97:9e:d0:e7:24:ce:a3:77:3e:01:42:09` | `ROQFvPThGrW4RuWLoL9tq9I9zJ42fK4XywyRtbOz/EQ` |
|
|
|
|
## Mail configuration
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com sends emails from the `mg.gitlab.com` domain via [Mailgun] and has
|
|
its own dedicated IP address (`198.61.254.240`).
|
|
|
|
## Alternative SSH port
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com can be reached via a [different SSH port][altssh] for `git+ssh`.
|
|
|
|
| Setting | Value |
|
|
| --------- | ------------------- |
|
|
| `Hostname` | `altssh.gitlab.com` |
|
|
| `Port` | `443` |
|
|
|
|
An example `~/.ssh/config` is the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
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].
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
| ----------------------- | ---------------- | ------------- |
|
|
| Domain name | `gitlab.io` | - |
|
|
| IP address | `35.185.44.232` | - |
|
|
| Custom domains support | yes | no |
|
|
| TLS certificates support| yes | no |
|
|
|
|
The maximum size of your Pages site is regulated by the artifacts maximum size
|
|
which is part of [GitLab CI/CD](#gitlab-cicd).
|
|
|
|
## GitLab CI/CD
|
|
|
|
Below are the current settings regarding [GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/README.md).
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
|
|
| Artifacts maximum size | 1G | 100M |
|
|
| Artifacts [expiry time](../../ci/yaml/README.md#artifactsexpire_in) | kept forever | deleted after 30 days unless otherwise specified |
|
|
|
|
## Repository size limit
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
|
|
| Repository size including LFS | 10G | Unlimited |
|
|
|
|
## IP range
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com, CI/CD, and related services are deployed into Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Any
|
|
IP based firewall can be configured by looking up all
|
|
[IP address ranges or CIDR blocks for GCP](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/faq#where_can_i_find_product_name_short_ip_ranges).
|
|
|
|
[Static endpoints](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/5071) are being considered.
|
|
|
|
## Shared Runners
|
|
|
|
Shared Runners on GitLab.com run in [autoscale mode] and powered by
|
|
Google Cloud Platform. 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. Read about all
|
|
[GitLab.com plans](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
installed. Instances provide 1 vCPU and 25GB of HDD disk space. The default
|
|
region of the VMs is US East1.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
project. Check the issues [4010] and [4070] for the reference.
|
|
|
|
Below are the shared Runners settings.
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
| ----------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
|
|
| [GitLab Runner] | [Runner versions dashboard][ci_version_dashboard] | - |
|
|
| Executor | `docker+machine` | - |
|
|
| Default Docker image | `ruby:2.5` | - |
|
|
| `privileged` (run [Docker in Docker]) | `true` | `false` |
|
|
|
|
[ci_version_dashboard]: https://dashboards.gitlab.com/dashboard/db/ci?from=now-1h&to=now&refresh=5m&orgId=1&panelId=12&fullscreen&theme=light

|
## Sidekiq
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com runs [Sidekiq][sidekiq] with arguments `--timeout=4 --concurrency=4`
|
|
and the following environment variables:
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
|-------- |----------- |-------- |
|
|
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_MAX_RSS` | `1000000` | `1000000` |
|
|
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_SHUTDOWN_SIGNAL` | `SIGKILL` | - |
|
|
| `SIDEKIQ_LOG_ARGUMENTS` | `1` | - |
|
|
|
|
## Cron jobs
|
|
|
|
Periodically executed jobs by Sidekiq, to self-heal GitLab, do external
|
|
synchronizations, run scheduled pipelines, etc.:
|
|
|
|
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|
|
|-------- |------------- |------------- |
|
|
| `pipeline_schedule_worker` | `19 * * * *` | `19 * * * *` |
|
|
|
|
## 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 |
|
|
| log_line_prefix | `%t [%p]: [%l-1] ` | empty |
|
|
| 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.
|
|
More information on this particular change can be found at
|
|
<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/1555>. An up to date list
|
|
of proposed changes can be found at

|
|
|
|
## Unicorn
|
|
|
|
GitLab.com adjusts the memory limits for the [unicorn-worker-killer][unicorn-worker-killer] gem.
|
|
|
|
Base default:
|
|
|
|
- `memory_limit_min` = 750MiB
|
|
- `memory_limit_max` = 1024MiB
|
|
|
|
Web front-ends:
|
|
|
|
- `memory_limit_min` = 1024MiB
|
|
- `memory_limit_max` = 1280MiB
|
|
|
|
## GitLab.com at scale
|
|
|
|
In addition to the GitLab Enterprise Edition Omnibus install, GitLab.com uses
|
|
the following applications and settings to achieve scale. All settings are
|
|
located publicly available [chef cookbooks](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-cookbooks).
