We have a self-hosted version of Gitlab (17.6.1-ee) in a docker-container with docker-compose. We are using this installation as a “free-version”.
The setting “Use hashed storage” is activated (Admin Area >> Repository >> Repository Storage).
We have just started to scan our repositores (/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/@hashed) for some key-words and try to translate the hashed-repo-id. Therefor I found this article:
Repository storage | GitLab
There is a description, like this: “… Open the config file and locate the fullpath= key under [gitlab]”
But you can not find the “[gitlab]”-section or an entry with “fullpath” in any of our repositories.
Why is there no such entry and how can we change this?
PS:
I know that it can be done through rails-console too and I already managed to do so, but it would be really more comfortable for us to just read it out of the config-file…
