# GitLab.com settings
In this page you will find information about the settings that are used on
[GitLab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing).
## SSH host keys fingerprints
Below are the fingerprints for GitLab.com's SSH host keys.
| Algorithm | MD5 | SHA256 |
| --------- | --- | ------- |
| DSA | `7a:47:81:3a:ee:89:89:64:33:ca:44:52:3d:30:d4:87` | `p8vZBUOR0XQz6sYiaWSMLmh0t9i8srqYKool/Xfdfqw` |
| ECDSA | `f1:d0:fb:46:73:7a:70:92:5a:ab:5d:ef:43:e2:1c:35` | `HbW3g8zUjNSksFbqTiUWPWg2Bq1x8xdGUrliXFzSnUw` |
| ED25519 | `2e:65:6a:c8:cf:bf:b2:8b:9a:bd:6d:9f:11:5c:12:16` | `eUXGGm1YGsMAS7vkcx6JOJdOGHPem5gQp4taiCfCLB8` |
| RSA | `b6:03:0e:39:97:9e:d0:e7:24:ce:a3:77:3e:01:42:09` | `ROQFvPThGrW4RuWLoL9tq9I9zJ42fK4XywyRtbOz/EQ` |
## Mail configuration
GitLab.com sends emails from the `mg.gitlab.com` domain via [Mailgun] and has
its own dedicated IP address (`198.61.254.240`).
## Alternative SSH port
GitLab.com can be reached via a [different SSH port][altssh] for `git+ssh`.
| Setting | Value |
| --------- | ------------------- |
| `Hostname` | `altssh.gitlab.com` |
| `Port` | `443` |
An example `~/.ssh/config` is the following:
```
Host gitlab.com
Hostname altssh.gitlab.com
User git
Port 443
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gitlab
```
## GitLab Pages
Below are the settings for [GitLab Pages].
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------------------- | ---------------- | ------------- |
| Domain name | `gitlab.io` | - |
| IP address | `52.167.214.135` | - |
| Custom domains support | yes | no |
| TLS certificates support| yes | no |
The maximum size of your Pages site is regulated by the artifacts maximum size
which is part of [GitLab CI](#gitlab-ci).
## GitLab CI/CD
Below are the current settings regarding [GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/README.md).
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
| Artifacts maximum size | 1G | 100M |
## Shared Runners
Shared Runners on GitLab.com run in [autoscale mode] and powered by
DigitalOcean. Autoscaling means reduced waiting times to spin up builds,
and isolated VMs for each project, thus maximizing security.
They're free to use for public open source projects and limited to 2000 CI
minutes per month per group for private projects. Read about all
[GitLab.com plans](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
All your builds run on 2GB (RAM) ephemeral instances, with CoreOS and the latest
Docker Engine installed. The default region of the VMs is NYC.
Below are the shared Runners settings.
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
| ----------- | ----------------- | ---------- |
| [GitLab Runner] | [Runner versions dashboard][ci_version_dashboard] | - |
| Executor | `docker+machine` | - |
| Default Docker image | `ruby:2.1` | - |
| `privileged` (run [Docker in Docker]) | `true` | `false` |
[ci_version_dashboard]: https://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/ci?refresh=5m&orgId=1&panelId=12&fullscreen&from=now-1h&to=now&var-runner_type=All&var-cache_server=All&var-gl_monitor_fqdn=postgres-01.db.prd.gitlab.com&var-has_minutes=yes&var-hanging_droplets_cleaner=All&var-droplet_zero_machines_cleaner=All&var-runner_job_failure_reason=All&theme=light
### `config.toml`
The full contents of our `config.toml` are:
```toml
[[runners]]
name = "docker-auto-scale"
limit = X
request_concurrency = X
url = "https://gitlab.com/ci"
token = "SHARED_RUNNER_TOKEN"
executor = "docker+machine"
environment = [
"DOCKER_DRIVER=overlay2"
]
[runners.docker]
image = "ruby:2.1"
privileged = true
[runners.machine]
IdleCount = 40
IdleTime = 1800
MaxBuilds = 1
MachineDriver = "digitalocean"
MachineName = "machine-%s-digital-ocean-2gb"
MachineOptions = [
"digitalocean-image=coreos-stable",
"digitalocean-ssh-user=core",
"digitalocean-access-token=DIGITAL_OCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN",
"digitalocean-region=nyc1",
"digitalocean-size=2gb",
"digitalocean-private-networking",
"digitalocean-userdata=/etc/gitlab-runner/cloudinit.sh",
"engine-registry-mirror=http://IP_TO_OUR_REGISTRY_MIRROR"
]
[runners.cache]
Type = "s3"
ServerAddress = "IP_TO_OUR_CACHE_SERVER"
AccessKey = "ACCESS_KEY"
SecretKey = "ACCESS_SECRET_KEY"
BucketName = "runner"
Shared = true
```
## Sidekiq
GitLab.com runs [Sidekiq][sidekiq] with arguments `--timeout=4 --concurrency=4`
and the following environment variables:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|-------- |----------- |-------- |
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_MAX_RSS` | `1000000` | `1000000` |
| `SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_SHUTDOWN_SIGNAL` | `SIGKILL` | - |
| `SIDEKIQ_LOG_ARGUMENTS` | `1` | - |
## Cron jobs
Periodically executed jobs by Sidekiq, to self-heal Gitlab, do external
synchronizations, run scheduled pipelines, etc.:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|-------- |------------- |------------- |
| `pipeline_schedule_worker` | `19 * * * *` | `19 * * * *` |
## PostgreSQL
GitLab.com being a fairly large installation of GitLab means we have changed
various PostgreSQL settings to better suit our needs. For example, we use
streaming replication and servers in hot-standby mode to balance queries across
different database servers.
The list of GitLab.com specific settings (and their defaults) is as follows:
| Setting | GitLab.com | Default |
|:------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------|
| archive_command | `/usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /opt/wal-e/bin/wal-e wal-push %p` | empty |
| archive_mode | on | off |
| autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor | 0.01 | 0.01 |
| autovacuum_max_workers | 6 | 3 |
| autovacuum_vacuum_cost_limit | 1000 | -1 |
| autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor | 0.01 | 0.02 |
| checkpoint_completion_target | 0.7 | 0.9 |
| checkpoint_segments | 32 | 10 |
| effective_cache_size | 338688MB | Based on how much memory is available |
| hot_standby | on | off |
| hot_standby_feedback | on | off |
| log_autovacuum_min_duration | 0 | -1 |
| log_checkpoints | on | off |
| log_line_prefix | `%t [%p]: [%l-1] ` | empty |
| log_min_duration_statement | 1000 | -1 |
| log_temp_files | 0 | -1 |
| maintenance_work_mem | 2048MB | 16 MB |
| max_replication_slots | 5 | 0 |
| max_wal_senders | 32 | 0 |
| max_wal_size | 5GB | 1GB |
| shared_buffers | 112896MB | Based on how much memory is available |
| shared_preload_libraries | pg_stat_statements | empty |
| shmall | 30146560 | Based on the server's capabilities |
| shmmax | 123480309760 | Based on the server's capabilities |
| wal_buffers | 16MB | -1 |
| wal_keep_segments | 512 | 10 |
| wal_level | replica | minimal |
| statement_timeout | 15s | 60s |
| idle_in_transaction_session_timeout | 60s | 60s |
Some of these settings are in the process being adjusted. For example, the value
for `shared_buffers` is quite high and as such we are looking into adjusting it.
More information on this particular change can be found at
<https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/1555>. An up to date list
of proposed changes can be found at

## Unicorn
GitLab.com adjusts the memory limits for the [unicorn-worker-killer][unicorn-worker-killer] gem.
Base default:
* `memory_limit_min` = 750MiB
* `memory_limit_max` = 1024MiB
Web front-ends:
* `memory_limit_min` = 1024MiB
* `memory_limit_max` = 1280MiB
## GitLab.com at scale
