Nginx Setup

[dm17]

I'm confused. You link to this guide:
https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#using-a-non-bundled-web-server

That guide has this at the top:
nginx['enable'] = false

You do not have that in your gitlab.rb. You also say you use a separate nginx-proxy setup - so you would need that as far as I can see... @mgcrea Do you have updates to this repo? I'm really curious how you have it working.

I get loads of chef errors as well. Running this feels very messy (not because of your code, but because of GitLab).

I guess the guide was updated, I do currently use gitlab's embedded nginx on port 80.

Current working config:

## GitLab configuration settings
##! This file is generated during initial installation and **is not** modified
##! during upgrades.
##! Check out the latest version of this file to know about the different
##! settings that can be configured by this file, which may be found at:
##! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/raw/master/files/gitlab-config-template/gitlab.rb.template


## GitLab URL
##! URL on which GitLab will be reachable.
##! For more details on configuring external_url see:
##! https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/configuration.html#configuring-the-external-url-for-gitlab
external_url 'https://gitlab.foobar.io'
registry_external_url 'https://registry.foobar.io'
pages_external_url 'http://pages.foobar.io'

### Trusted proxies
###! Customize if you have GitLab behind a reverse proxy which is running on a
###! different machine.
###! **Add the IP address for your reverse proxy to the list, otherwise users
###!   will appear signed in from that address.**
gitlab_rails['trusted_proxies'] = ['172.18.0.0/16']

### GitLab database settings
###! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/database.html
###! **Only needed if you use an external database.**
gitlab_rails['db_host'] = "postgres"

### GitLab Redis settings
###! Connect to your own Redis instance
###! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/redis.html
gitlab_rails['redis_host'] = "redis"

### GitLab email server settings
###! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/smtp.html
###! **Use smtp instead of sendmail/postfix.**

gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "in-v3.mailjet.com"
gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 465
gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "xxx"
gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "xxx"
gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "foobar.io"
gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "login"
gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true
gitlab_rails['smtp_tls'] = true

gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_from'] = 'gitlab@foobar.io'
gitlab_rails['gitlab_email_reply_to'] = 'noreply@foobar.io'

alertmanager['enable'] = false

## GitLab PostgreSQL
################################################################

###! Changing any of these settings requires a restart of postgresql.
###! By default, reconfigure reloads postgresql if it is running. If you
###! change any of these settings, be sure to run `gitlab-ctl restart postgresql`
###! after reconfigure in order for the changes to take effect.
postgresql['enable'] = false

## GitLab Redis
##! **Can be disabled if you are using your own Redis instance.**
##! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/redis.html
################################################################################

redis['enable'] = false

################################################################################
## GitLab NGINX
##! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html
################################################################################

##! **Override only if you use a reverse proxy**
##! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#setting-the-nginx-listen-port
nginx['listen_port'] = 80
registry_nginx['listen_port'] = 80
pages_nginx['listen_port'] = 80

##! **Override only if your reverse proxy internally communicates over HTTP**
##! Docs: https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/nginx.html#supporting-proxied-ssl
nginx['listen_https'] = false
registry_nginx['listen_https'] = false
pages_nginx['listen_https'] = false

gitlab_pages['enable'] = true
gitlab_pages['inplace_chroot'] = true
gitlab_pages['listen_proxy'] = "0.0.0.0:8090"
#gitlab_pages['external_http'] = "0.0.0.0:8090"

Indeed this seems redundant as it looks like you can directly hit omnibus.

I think the best way forward would be to use the chart recipe but that requires a working kubernetes cluster...

Thanks I'll give that a try.
