Maintenance Rake Tasks

Gather information about GitLab and the system it runs on

This command gathers information about your GitLab installation and the System it runs on. These may be useful when asking for help or reporting issues.

Omnibus Installation

Source Installation

bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production

Example output:

Check GitLab configuration

Runs the following rake tasks:

  • gitlab:gitlab_shell:check
  • gitlab:sidekiq:check
  • gitlab:app:check

It will check that each component was setup according to the installation guide and suggest fixes for issues found.

You may also have a look at our Trouble Shooting Guides:

Omnibus Installation

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check

Source Installation

bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

NOTE: Use SANITIZE=true for gitlab:check if you want to omit project names from the output.

Example output:

Rebuild authorized_keys file

In some case it is necessary to rebuild the authorized_keys file.

Omnibus Installation

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:shell:setup

Source Installation

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:setup RAILS_ENV=production
This will rebuild an authorized_keys file.
You will lose any data stored in authorized_keys file.
Do you want to continue (yes/no)? yes

Clear redis cache

If for some reason the dashboard shows wrong information you might want to clear Redis' cache.

Omnibus Installation

sudo gitlab-rake cache:clear

Source Installation

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production

Precompile the assets

Sometimes during version upgrades you might end up with some wrong CSS or missing some icons. In that case, try to precompile the assets again.

Note that this only applies to source installations and does NOT apply to Omnibus packages.

Source Installation

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:assets:compile RAILS_ENV=production

For omnibus versions, the unoptimized assets (JavaScript, CSS) are frozen at the release of upstream GitLab. The omnibus version includes optimized versions of those assets. Unless you are modifying the JavaScript / CSS code on your production machine after installing the package, there should be no reason to redo rake gitlab:assets:compile on the production machine. If you suspect that assets have been corrupted, you should reinstall the omnibus package.

Tracking Deployments

GitLab provides a Rake task that lets you track deployments in GitLab Performance Monitoring. This Rake task simply stores the current GitLab version in the GitLab Performance Monitoring database.

Omnibus Installation

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:track_deployment

Source Installation

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:track_deployment RAILS_ENV=production

If the GitLab shell hooks directory location changes or another circumstance leads to the hooks symlink becoming missing or invalid, run this Rake task to create or repair the symlinks.

Omnibus Installation

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:shell:create_hooks

Source Installation

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:create_hooks RAILS_ENV=production

Check TCP connectivity to a remote site

Sometimes you need to know if your GitLab installation can connect to a TCP service on another machine - perhaps a PostgreSQL or HTTPS server. A rake task is included to help you with this:

Omnibus Installation

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:tcp_check[example.com,80]

Source Installation

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:tcp_check[example.com,80] RAILS_ENV=production
