Description

Hello,

I'm experiencing slowness on a selfhosted GitLab instance with the sameersbn/gitlab Docker image on a baremetal server.
I'd like to make access to the issue and merge request pages load faster.

Information about the baremetal server:

  • Intel® Xeon® D-1531 CPU - 6C/12T - 2.2 GHz
  • SSD
  • 32GB DDR4

I think the slowdowns happens when git rebase or git merge are executed on the server.
Maybe also git clones executed by GitLab-CI jobs.

I think it's the Gitaly service that performs the git actions. If that's correct, I would like to run Gitaly on a different server.

Questions :

  • is it possible to run Gitaly separately with the sameersbn/gitlab Docker image?
  • do you have an example of this type of installation?

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Best regards,
Stephane
