Hi everyone,
I don’t have an issue per se, but I’m looking for some info:
I have a self hosted Gitlab CE 18.2.8 on Ubuntu 22.04 and, since a couple of weeks, I started noticing that the registry restarts every Sunday at 4am (GMT+2) and it takes 7 to 10 min to be available again.
Is this normal expected behavior?
I’ve been looking at the documentation, but I can’t see anything related to my question.
The logs are pretty clear and don’t show any errors:
2025-10-12_02:00:01.93884 time=“2025-10-12T04:00:01.937+02:00” level=info msg=“attempting to stop server gracefully…” database_drain_timeout=0s http_drain_timeout=0s quit_signal=terminated
2025-10-12_02:00:01.94034 time=“2025-10-12T04:00:01.940+02:00” level=info msg=“graceful shutdown successful” database_drain_timeout=0s http_drain_timeout=0s quit_signal=terminated
There’s also mention of the Cleanup job running, but this runs every hour and doesn’t require a registry restart, so I assume it’s a red herring.
I’d like to find out also all of the scheduled cron jobs, but I can’t find it either in the web gui or cli.

So far I don’t see this as a blocking issue, and, considering the timing, I’m chalking it up to “scheduled maintenance job“ but it would be interesting to understand the why.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
