Legend:
-
Component- Name of the component. -
On by default- Is the component running by default. -
Communicates via- How the component talks with the other components. -
Alternative- If it is possible to configure the component to use different type of communication. The type is listed with default port used in that case. -
Connection port- Port on which the component communicates.
GitLab also expects a file system to be ready for the storage of Git repositories and various other files.
If you are using NFS (Network File System), files are carried
over a network which requires, based on implementation, ports 111 and
2049 to be open.
NOTE: In some cases, the GitLab Registry is automatically enabled by default. See our documentation for more details.
-
If Sidekiq health check settings are not set, they default to the Sidekiq metrics exporter settings. This default is deprecated and is set to be removed in GitLab 15.0. ↩
-
If using additional Consul functionality, more ports may need to be opened. See the official documentation for the list. ↩
