Mastering GitLab 12

The GitLab URL or endpoint will be the address of the load balancer. The value of this address can be extracted from our dynamic Ansible inventory command, /usr/local/bin/terraform.py. In the Ansible scripts, we can refer to a specific host variable:

external_url 'http://{{ hostvars[groups['lb'][0]]['inventory_hostname'] }}'

Sidekiq uses GitLab Shell, which needs to authenticate to the frontend servers as follows:

gitlab_rails['internal_api_url'] = "http://{{ hostvars[groups['frontend'][0]]['inventory_hostname'] }}:8080"

This server should have the application role:

roles ['application_role']

We specifically want to enable Sidekiq on this machine:

# Enable sidekiqsidekiq['enable'] = true
