Customization

[xdrew]

Hi guys!

Could you please guide me how to customize settings after installation.
I want to assing custom domain to my gitlab instance, so I enabled ssl, uploaded certificates, bound domain to load balancer ip and adjusted nginx config to listen to 443 port and use those certificates. Then I changed env variables of Gitlab Server to desired hostname and https_port to 443. But container restart didn't do anything. The best result I managed to get is changing upstream port on nginx to map 443 to 4848. It worked but all internal gitlab links where generated with jelastic domain and port 4848. I suppose its because there's another docker in this container and it's been configured while installation only. Then I tried to redeploy entire Gitlab Server instance with preserve volumes option checked. It made things even worse - internal docker did not start at all. So I have two questions:

1. Do I need fork this repo and adjust configuration and then import it via Import function, not marketplace.
2. How should I update gitlab version afterwards without loosing anything

Thanks!

Hi @xdrew ,

1. If you want to bind new domain or replace existing one there is an option in addon's manager that allows to configure extra domains via Let's Encrypt addon.
2. The version installed via Marketplace is based on docker-compose so updates should be installed via following way: SSH/WEBSSH:
   root@node0000 ~/gitlab $ cd /root/gitlab/
   root@node0000 ~/gitlab $ docker-compose pull
   Pulling redis ... done
   Pulling postgresql ... done
   Pulling registry ... done
   Pulling gitlab ... done
   root@node310004-test-issue11 ~/gitlab $ docker-compose up -d

If you have a specific case when standard flows are not able to cover - please let us know in more details, we will brainstorm together on it.
Cheers,
