Post install steps with Gitlab
It happens I recently had to install Gitlab and was a bit lost about what to do right after the setup finished, perhaps this will help. By default, Gitlab stores its data files in /var/opt/gitlab and its backups in /var/opt/gitlab/backups. It would be a good idea to use dedicated partitions for each of those directories. Let’s say you use /dev/sdb1 for Gitlab data and /dev/sdc1 for the backups. gitlab-ctl stop mkdir /mnt/gitlab mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/gitlab mkdir /mnt/gitlab/backups mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/gitlab/backups tar -C /var/opt -cf - gitlab | tar -C /mnt -xpsf - umount /mnt/gitlab/backups umount /mnt/gitlab mv /var/opt/gitlab /var/opt/gitlab.old mkdir /var/opt/gitlab mount /dev/sdb1 /var/opt/gitlab mount /dev/sdc1 /var/opt/gitlab/backups gitlab-ctl start Do not forget to edit /etc/fstab.
