gitlab: Setup sidekiq service
Sidekiq[1] is used in GitLab as background jobs manager - i.e. if a request handler needs to spawn some non-light job - it adds it to sidekiq queue (in Redis) and relies on sidekiq service to later pick this job up and execute it. The service is setup with just to run bin/gitlab-sidekiq with appropriate queues (extracted from omnibus-gitlab) and appropriate settings to controlling GitLab's sidekiq Out-Of-Memory killer[2]. NOTE Unlike unicorn OOM killer, Sidekiq memory killer just makes sidekiq processes to be SIGKILL terminated and relies on managing service to restart it. In slapos we don't have mechanism to set autorestart=true, nor bang/watchdog currently work with slapproxy, so we setup to do such monitoring ourselves manually with here-introduced watcher-sigkill program. NOTE2 sidekiq promise, because it is rake/gitlab based, is slow to load/run and thus is put into etc/promise.slow/ [1] http://sidekiq.org/ [2] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/1322bd78/doc/operations/sidekiq_memory_killer.md /cc @kazuhiko, @jerome
