Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

gitlab_external_url: "https://gitlab/"

The URL at which the GitLab instance will be accessible. This is set as the external_url configuration setting in gitlab.rb, and if you want to run GitLab on a different port (besides 80/443), you can specify the port here (e.g. https://gitlab:8443/ for port 8443).

gitlab_git_data_dir: "/var/opt/gitlab/git-data"

The gitlab_git_data_dir is the location where all the Git repositories will be stored. You can use a shared drive or any path on the system.

gitlab_backup_path: "/var/opt/gitlab/backups"

The gitlab_backup_path is the location where Gitlab backups will be stored.

gitlab_edition: "gitlab-ce"

The edition of GitLab to install. Usually either gitlab-ce (Community Edition) or gitlab-ee (Enterprise Edition).

gitlab_version: ''

If you'd like to install a specific version, set the version here (e.g. 10.0.6-ce.0 for Debian/Ubuntu, or 10.0.6-ce.0.el7 for RedHat/CentOS).

gitlab_config_template: "gitlab.rb.j2"

The gitlab.rb.j2 template packaged with this role is meant to be very generic and serve a variety of use cases. However, many people would like to have a much more customized version, and so you can override this role's default template with your own, adding any additional customizations you need. To do this:

  • Create a templates directory at the same level as your playbook.

  • Create a templates\mygitlab.rb.j2 file (just choose a different name from the default template).

  • Set the variable like: gitlab_config_template: mygitlab.rb.j2 (with the name of your custom template).

    SSL Configuration.

    gitlab_redirect_http_to_https: "true" gitlab_ssl_certificate: "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.crt" gitlab_ssl_certificate_key: "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.key"

GitLab SSL configuration; tells GitLab to redirect normal http requests to https, and the path to the certificate and key (the default values will work for automatic self-signed certificate creation, if set to true in the variable below).

# SSL Self-signed Certificate Configuration.
gitlab_create_self_signed_cert: "true"
gitlab_self_signed_cert_subj: "/C=US/ST=Missouri/L=Saint Louis/O=IT/CN=gitlab"

Whether to create a self-signed certificate for serving GitLab over a secure connection. Set gitlab_self_signed_cert_subj according to your locality and organization.

gitlab_ldap_host: "example.com"
gitlab_ldap_port: "389"
gitlab_ldap_uid: "sAMAccountName"
gitlab_ldap_method: "plain"
gitlab_ldap_bind_dn: "CN=Username,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com"
gitlab_ldap_password: "password"
gitlab_ldap_base: "DC=example,DC=com"

GitLab LDAP configuration; if gitlab_ldap_enabled is true, the rest of the configuration will tell GitLab how to connect to an LDAP server for centralized authentication.

gitlab_time_zone: "UTC"

Gitlab timezone.

gitlab_backup_keep_time: "604800"

How long to keep local backups (useful if you don't want backups to fill up your drive!).

gitlab_email_enabled: "false"
gitlab_email_from: "gitlab@example.com"

gitlab_smtp_ca_file: "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"

Gitlab SMTP configuration; of gitlab_smtp_enable is true, the rest of the configuration will tell GitLab how to send mails using an smtp server.

gitlab_nginx_listen_port: 8080

If you are running GitLab behind a reverse proxy, you may want to override the listen port to something else.

gitlab_nginx_listen_https: "false"

If you are running GitLab behind a reverse proxy, you may wish to terminate SSL at another proxy server or load balancer

gitlab_nginx_ssl_verify_client: ""
