i’m administrating a GitLab instance which was set up by a former colleague. I need to change some LDAP auth options in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
My newbie question: is gitlab-ctl reconfigure everything i have to do afterwards or do i have to stop and restart gitlab? What about my users when they are logged in while reconfiguring or when stopping/restarting the system?
whenever reconfigure requires a restart, this is explicitly mentioned in the doc instructions. Typically config changes shouldn’t create a downtime of your GitLab service which is why a gitlab-ctl reconfigure should be just fine after editing the gitlab.rb config file.
