A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Default behavior is to continue executing the script even when one or
multiple steps fail. We want to abort early if any part of the
initialization fails to not run with a partially initialized state.
Default behavior also allows dereferencing non-existent variables,
potentially resulting in hard-to-find bugs.
On start, unicorn, sidekiq and other parts running ruby code emits
quite a few warnings similar to
/var/gitlab/state/config/application.rb:202: warning: already initialized constant Gitlab::Application::LOOSE_EE_APP_ASSETS
/nix/store/ysb0lgbzxp7a9y4yl8d4f9wrrzy9kafc-gitlab-ee-12.3.5/share/gitlab/config/application.rb:202: warning: previous definition of LOOSE_EE_APP_ASSETS was here
/var/gitlab/state/lib/gitlab.rb:38: warning: already initialized constant Gitlab::COM_URL
/nix/store/ysb0lgbzxp7a9y4yl8d4f9wrrzy9kafc-gitlab-ee-12.3.5/share/gitlab/lib/gitlab.rb:38: warning: previous definition of COM_URL was here
This seems to be caused by the same ruby files being evaluated
multiple times due to the paths being different - sometimes they're
loaded using the direct path and sometimes through a symlink, due to
our split between config and package data. To fix this, we make sure
that the offending files in the state directory always reference the
store path, regardless of that being the real file or a symlink.
This reverts commit 2ee14c34ed.
This caused the initializers directory to be cleaned out while gitlab
was running in some instances. We clean out the directory on the
preStart stage already, so ensuring existance and permissions should
suffice.
gitlab:db:configure prints the root user's password to stdout on
successful setup, which means it will be logged to the
journal. Silence this informational output. Errors are printed to
stderr and will thus still be let through.
The initializers directory is populated with files from the gitlab
distribution on start, but old files will be left in the state folder
even if they're removed from the distribution, which can lead to
startup failures. Fix this by always purging the directory on start
before populating it.
Since the preStart script is no longer running in privileged mode, we
reassign the files in the state directory and its config subdirectory
to the user we're running as. This is done by splitting the preStart
script into a privileged and an unprivileged part where the privileged
part does the reassignment.
Also, delete the database.yml symlink if it exists, since we want to
create a real file in its place.
Fixes#68696.
Make sure that we don't create a database if we're not going to
connect to it. Also, fix the assertion that usernames be equal to only
trig when peer authentication is used (databaseHost == "").
config.services.postgresql.package is only defined when the postgresql
service is activated, which means we fail to evaluate when
databaseCreateLocally == false. Fix this by using the default
postgresql package when the postgresql service is disabled.
The state path now, since the transition from initialization in
preStart to using systemd-tmpfiles, has the following restriction: no
parent directory can be owned by any other user than root or the user
specified in services.gitlab.user. This is a potentially breaking
change and the cause of the error isn't immediately obvious, so
document it both in the release notes and statePath description.
Adds the ability to make any parameter specified in extraConfig secret
by defining it an attrset containing the attr _secret, which in turn
is a path to a file containing the actual secret.
Use the postgresql module to provision a local db (if
databaseCreateLocally is true) instead of doing this locally.
Switch to using the local unix socket for db connections by default;
this is needed since dbs created by the postgresql module only support
peer authentication.
Instead of running the rake tasks db:schema:load, db:migrate and
db:seed_fu, run gitlab:db:configure, which in turn runs these tasks
when needed.
Solves issue #53852 for gitlab.
Add support for storing secrets in files outside the nix store, since
files in the nix store are world-readable and secrets therefore can't
be stored safely there.
The old string options are kept, since they can potentially be handy
for testing purposes, but their descriptions now state that they
shouldn't be used in production. The manual section is updated to use
the file options rather than the string options and the tests now test
both.
It seems like Gitlab doesn't pick up GITLAB_UPLOADS_PATH. The internal uploads
folder is already symlinked to /run/gitlab/uploads by the gitlab package. Here
we symlink this further to ${statePath}/uploads, since /run is (usually) a tmpfs.
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.
