Description

Hi.
I wanted to add some server-side hooks to the repo and was following the official guide to do this, but failed finding the folder where repos live.

Here is the listing of the folder I believe shall be the storage. And there is really nothing about project files there.

root@c26db5408b37:/home/git/gitlab# ll /home/git/data/repositories
total 20
drwx--S---  4 git git 4096 Dec 21 02:34  +gitaly/
drwxrws---  4 git git 4096 Jan  5 15:11  ./
drwxr-xr-x 10 git git 4096 Jul 29 19:52  ../
-rw-------  1 git git   64 Aug 20 03:42  .gitaly-metadata
drwxr-x--- 35 git git 4096 Dec 26 13:06 '@hashed'/

So where is the actual file storage to manage server-side hooks?

thnx

Research direction

Start with the official custom hooks guide and the repository layout shown in /home/git/data/repositories, including the @hashed and +gitaly directories. Determine where server-side hooks are managed in this Dockerized GitLab setup, then document the relevant location and workflow so users can find the project files.
