Where to find "/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb" path?

[arshsahzad]

I have to configure GitLab sidekiq and puma for memory optimization in my cloudron server but I'm not able to find the path /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb in the ubuntu 20.04. Where can I find the gitlab.rb file?

@arshsahzad the Cloudron package is using /app/data/gitlab.yml to configure GitLab. See https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/gitlab.yml.html on how to map gitlab.rb key values to gitlab.yml ones.

@nebulon ah good hint. Please add this to https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/gitlab/

@luckow good point. Done now.

@nebulon, I recently switched from Gitea to GitLab and the GitLab instance have only 5 users but it is taking around 2.6GB RAM space in my cloudron server. I have to apply below these configurations in gitlab.yml because it will optimize and save around 500Mb RAM space:-

#gitlab.rb configuration

puma['worker_processes'] = 0
sidekiq['max_concurrency'] = 10
prometheus_monitoring['enable'] = false

Translate for gitlab.yml

puma:
  worker_processes: 0

sidekiq:
   max_concurrency: 10

prometheus_monitoring
  enable: false

I put the sidekiq config in line 349 but don't know where to put puma and prometheus_monitoring?

@arshsahzad From my experience: if you have to deal with RAM, don't use gitlab. Currently, one of my Gitlab instances uses 4.5 GB RAM with 10 users and it's slow.

I can second @luckow 's statement here, GitLab base functionality requires a lot of memory already and if you are concerned about memory, then it is not the right tool for git repo/project management.

@luckow @nebulon Thanks for ur valuable response, I will consider about this...
