The <literal>gitlab</literal> service exposes only an Unix socket at
<literal>/run/gitlab/gitlab-workhorse.socket</literal>. You need to
configure a webserver to proxy HTTP requests to the socket.

For instance, the following configuration could be used to use nginx as
frontend proxy:
<programlisting>
<link linkend="opt-services.nginx.enable">services.nginx</link> = {
<link linkend="opt-services.nginx.enable">enable</link> = true;
<link linkend="opt-services.nginx.recommendedGzipSettings">recommendedGzipSettings</link> = true;

GitLab depends on both PostgreSQL and Redis and will automatically enable
both services. In the case of PostgreSQL, a database and a role will be
created.
</para>
<para>
The default state dir is <literal>/var/gitlab/state</literal>. This is where
all data like the repositories and uploads will be stored.
</para>
<para>
A basic configuration with some custom settings could look like this:
<programlisting>
services.gitlab = {

</para>
<para>
If you're setting up a new GitLab instance, generate new
secrets. You for instance use <literal>tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 &lt;
/dev/urandom | head -c 128 &gt; /var/keys/gitlab/db</literal> to
generate a new db secret. Make sure the files can be read by, and
only by, the user specified by <link
linkend="opt-services.gitlab.user">services.gitlab.user</link>. GitLab
encrypts sensitive data stored in the database. If you're restoring
an existing GitLab instance, you must specify the secrets secret
from <literal>config/secrets.yml</literal> located in your GitLab
state folder.

<para>
When <literal>incoming_mail.enabled</literal> is set to <literal>true</literal>
in <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.extraConfig">extraConfig</link> an additional
service called <literal>gitlab-mailroom</literal> is enabled for fetching incoming mail.

<para>
You can run GitLab's rake tasks with <literal>gitlab-rake</literal>
which will be available on the system when GitLab is enabled. You
will have to run the command as the user that you configured to run
GitLab with.
