  <para>
   The gitlab 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.
  </para>

   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;
  <link linkend="opt-services.nginx.recommendedOptimisation">recommendedOptimisation</link> = true;
  <link linkend="opt-services.nginx.recommendedProxySettings">recommendedProxySettings</link> = true;
  <link linkend="opt-services.nginx.recommendedTlsSettings">recommendedTlsSettings</link> = true;
  <link linkend="opt-services.nginx.virtualHosts">virtualHosts</link>."git.example.com" = {
    <link linkend="opt-services.nginx.virtualHosts._name_.enableACME">enableACME</link> = true;

  <para>
   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 = {
  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.enable">enable</link> = true;
  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.databasePasswordFile">databasePasswordFile</link> = "/var/keys/gitlab/db_password";

  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.https">https</link> = true;
  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.host">host</link> = "git.example.com";
  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.port">port</link> = 443;
  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.user">user</link> = "git";
  <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.group">group</link> = "git";
  smtp = {
    <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.smtp.enable">enable</link> = true;
    <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.smtp.address">address</link> = "localhost";
    <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.smtp.port">port</link> = 25;
  };
  secrets = {

    <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.secrets.secretFile">secretFile</link> = "/var/keys/gitlab/secret";
    <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.secrets.otpFile">otpFile</link> = "/var/keys/gitlab/otp";

      default_projects_features = { builds = false; };
    };
  };
};
</programlisting>
  </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>

  <para>
    When <literal>icoming_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>

  <para>
   Refer to <xref linkend="ch-options" /> for all available configuration
   options for the
   <link linkend="opt-services.gitlab.enable">services.gitlab</link> module.

  <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.
  </para>

  <para>
   For example, to backup a Gitlab instance:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>sudo -u git -H gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create
</screen>
   A list of all availabe rake tasks can be obtained by running:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>sudo -u git -H gitlab-rake -T
</screen>
  </para>
