Common installation problems
This section has been moved to the separate document doc/common_installation_problems/README.md.

Directory structure
Omnibus-gitlab uses four different directories.
/opt/gitlabholds application code for GitLab and its dependencies./var/opt/gitlabholds application data and configuration files thatgitlab-ctl reconfigurewrites to./etc/gitlabholds configuration files for omnibus-gitlab. These are the only files that you should ever have to edit manually./var/log/gitlabcontains all log data generated by components of omnibus-gitlab.
Omnibus-gitlab and SELinux
Although omnibus-gitlab runs on systems that have SELinux enabled, it does not use SELinux confinement features:
- omnibus-gitlab creates unconfined system users;
- omnibus-gitlab services run in an unconfined context.
The correct operation of Git access via SSH depends on the labeling of
/var/opt/gitlab/.ssh. If needed you can restore this labeling by running
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure.
Depending on your platform, gitlab-ctl reconfigure will install SELinux
modules required to make GitLab work. These modules are listed in
files/gitlab-selinux/README.md.
NSA, if you're reading this, we'd really appreciate it if you could contribute back a SELinux profile for omnibus-gitlab :) Of course, if anyone else is reading this, you're welcome to contribute the SELinux profile too.
Logs
This section has been moved to separate document doc/settings/logs.md.
Tail logs in a console on the server
See doc/settings/logs.md.
Runit logs
See doc/settings/logs.md.
Logrotate
See doc/settings/logs.md.
UDP log shipping (GitLab Enterprise Edition only)
Create a user and database for GitLab
Configure omnibus-gitlab to connect to it

Building your own package
See the separate build documentation.
Running a custom GitLab version
It is not recommended to make changes to any of the files in /opt/gitlab
after installing omnibus-gitlab: they will either conflict with or be
overwritten by future updates. If you want to run a custom version of GitLab
you can build your own package or use another installation
method.
Acknowledgments
This omnibus installer project is based on the awesome work done by Chef in omnibus-chef-server.
