# Integrity check Rake task **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
GitLab provides Rake tasks to check the integrity of various components.
|
|
|
|
## Repository integrity
|
|
|
|
Even though Git is very resilient and tries to prevent data integrity issues,
|
|
there are times when things go wrong. The following Rake tasks intend to
|
|
help GitLab administrators diagnose problem repositories so they can be fixed.
|
|
|
|
There are 3 things that are checked to determine integrity.
|
|
|
|
1. Git repository file system check ([`git fsck`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck)).
|
|
This step verifies the connectivity and validity of objects in the repository.
|
|
1. Check for `config.lock` in the repository directory.
|
|
1. Check for any branch/references lock files in `refs/heads`.
|
|
|
|
It's important to note that the existence of `config.lock` or reference locks
|
|
alone do not necessarily indicate a problem. Lock files are routinely created
|
|
and removed as Git and GitLab perform operations on the repository. They serve
|
|
to prevent data integrity issues. However, if a Git operation is interrupted these
|
|
locks may not be cleaned up properly.
|
|
|
|
The following symptoms may indicate a problem with repository integrity. If users
|
|
experience these symptoms you may use the Rake tasks described below to determine
|
|
exactly which repositories are causing the trouble.
|
|
|
|
- Receiving an error when trying to push code - `remote: error: cannot lock ref`
|
|
- A 500 error when viewing the GitLab dashboard or when accessing a specific project.
|
|
|
|
### Check all GitLab repositories
|
|
|
|
This task loops through all repositories on the GitLab server and runs the
|
|
integrity check described previously.
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus Installation**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:git:fsck
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Source Installation**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:git:fsck RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Checksum of repository refs
|
|
|
|
One Git repository can be compared to another by checksumming all refs of each
|
|
repository. If both repositories have the same refs, and if both repositories
|
|
pass an integrity check, then we can be confident that both repositories are the
|
|
same.
|
|
|
|
For example, this can be used to compare a backup of a repository against the
|
|
source repository.
|
|
|
|
### Check all GitLab repositories
|
|
|
|
This task loops through all repositories on the GitLab server and outputs
|
|
checksums in the format `<PROJECT ID>,<CHECKSUM>`.
|
|
|
|
- If a repository doesn't exist, the project ID will have a blank checksum.
|
|
- If a repository exists but is empty, the output checksum is `0000000000000000000000000000000000000000`.
|
|
- Projects which don't exist are skipped.
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus Installation**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:git:checksum_projects
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Source Installation**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:git:checksum_projects RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For example, if:
|
|
|
|
- Project with ID#2 doesn't exist, it will be skipped.
|
|
- Project with ID#4 doesn't have a repository, its checksum will be blank.
|
|
- Project with ID#5 has an empty repository, its checksum will be `0000000000000000000000000000000000000000`.
|
|
|
|
The output would then look something like:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
1,cfa3f06ba235c13df0bb28e079bcea62c5848af2
|
|
3,3f3fb58a8106230e3a6c6b48adc2712fb3b6ef87
|
|
4,
|
|
5,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
|
|
6,6c6b48adc2712fb3b6ef87cfa3f06ba235c13df0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Check specific GitLab repositories
|
|
|
|
Optionally, specific project IDs can be checksummed by setting an environment
|
|
variable `CHECKSUM_PROJECT_IDS` with a list of comma-separated integers, for example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
CHECKSUM_PROJECT_IDS="1,3" sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:git:checksum_projects
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Uploaded files integrity
|
|
|
|
Various types of files can be uploaded to a GitLab installation by users.
|
|
These integrity checks can detect missing files. Additionally, for locally
|
|
stored files, checksums are generated and stored in the database upon upload,
|
|
and these checks verify them against current files.
|
|
|
|
Currently, integrity checks are supported for the following types of file:
|
|
|
|
- CI artifacts (Available from version 10.7.0)
|
|
- LFS objects (Available from version 10.6.0)
|
|
- User uploads (Available from version 10.6.0)
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus Installation**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:artifacts:check
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:lfs:check
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:uploads:check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Source Installation**
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:artifacts:check RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:lfs:check RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:uploads:check RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These tasks also accept some environment variables which you can use to override
|
|
certain values:
|
|
|
|
Variable | Type | Description
|
|
--------- | ------- | -----------
|
|
`BATCH` | integer | Specifies the size of the batch. Defaults to 200.
|
|
`ID_FROM` | integer | Specifies the ID to start from, inclusive of the value.
|
|
`ID_TO` | integer | Specifies the ID value to end at, inclusive of the value.
|
|
`VERBOSE` | boolean | Causes failures to be listed individually, rather than being summarized.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:artifacts:check BATCH=100 ID_FROM=50 ID_TO=250
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:lfs:check BATCH=100 ID_FROM=50 ID_TO=250
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:uploads:check BATCH=100 ID_FROM=50 ID_TO=250
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:uploads:check
|

## LDAP check
|
|
|
|
The LDAP check Rake task tests the bind DN and password credentials
|
|
(if configured) and lists a sample of LDAP users. This task is also
|
|
executed as part of the `gitlab:check` task, but can run independently.
|
|
See [LDAP Rake Tasks - LDAP Check](ldap.md#check) for details.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
The following are solutions to problems you might discover using the Rake tasks documented
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
### Dangling commits
|
|
|
|
`gitlab:git:fsck` can find dangling commits. To fix them, try
|
|
[manually triggering housekeeping](../housekeeping.md#manual-housekeeping)
|
|
for the affected project(s).
|
|
|
|
If the issue persists, try triggering `gc` via the
|
|
[Rails Console](../operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session):
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
p = Project.find_by_path("project-name")
|
|
Repositories::HousekeepingService.new(p, :gc).execute
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Delete references to missing remote uploads
|
|
|
|
`gitlab-rake gitlab:uploads:check VERBOSE=1` detects remote objects that do not exist because they were
|
|
deleted externally but their references still exist in the GitLab database.
|
|
|
|
Example output with error message:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:uploads:check VERBOSE=1
|
|
Checking integrity of Uploads
|
|
- 100..434: Failures: 2
|
|
- Upload: 100: Remote object does not exist
|
|
- Upload: 101: Remote object does not exist
|
|
Done!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To delete these references to remote uploads that were deleted externally, open the [GitLab Rails Console](../operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session) and run:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
uploads_deleted=0
|
|
Upload.find_each do |upload|
|
|
next if upload.retrieve_uploader.file.exists?
|
|
uploads_deleted=uploads_deleted + 1
|
|
p upload ### allow verification before destroy
|
|
# p upload.destroy! ### uncomment to actually destroy
|
|
end
|
|
p "#{uploads_deleted} remote objects were destroyed."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Delete references to missing LFS objects
|
|
|
|
If `gitlab-rake gitlab:lfs:check VERBOSE=1` detects LFS objects that exist in the database
|
|
but not on disk, [follow the procedure in the LFS documentation](../../topics/git/lfs/index.md#missing-lfs-objects)
|
|
to remove the database entries.
