As a result, pushing a large object ## with Git (i.e. a single large file) can lead to a 411 error. In theory you can get ## around this by tweaking this configuration file and either: ## - installing an old version of Nginx with the chunkin module [2] compiled in, or ## - using a newer version of Nginx. ## ## At the time of writing we do not know if either of these theoretical solutions works. ## As a workaround users can use Git over SSH to push large files. ## ## [0] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/git/git.git/tree/Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt#n99 ## [1] https://github.com/agentzh/chunkin-nginx-module#status ## [2] https://github.com/agentzh/chunkin-nginx-module ## ################################### ## configuration ## ################################### ## ## See installation.md#using-https for additional HTTPS configuration details. upstream gitlab { server unix:/home/git/gitlab/tmp/sockets/gitlab.socket fail_timeout=0; } ## Normal HTTP host server { listen 0.0.0.0:80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; server_name YOUR_SERVER_FQDN; ## Replace this with something like gitlab.example.com server_tokens off; ## Don't show the nginx version number, a security best practice root /home/git/gitlab/public; ## Increase this if you want to upload large attachments ## Or if you want to accept large git objects over http client_max_body_size 20m; ## See app/controllers/application_controller.rb for headers set ## Individual nginx logs for this GitLab vhost access_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab_access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab_error.log; location / { ## Serve static files from defined root folder. ## @gitlab is a named location for the upstream fallback, see below. try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri.html @gitlab; } ## We route uploads through GitLab to prevent XSS and enforce access control. location /uploads/ { ## If you use HTTPS make sure you disable gzip compression ## to be safe against BREACH attack. # gzip off; ## https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694 ## Some requests take more than 30 seconds. proxy_read_timeout 300; proxy_connect_timeout 300; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN; proxy_pass http://gitlab; } ## If a file, which is not found in the root folder is requested, ## then the proxy passes the request to the upsteam (gitlab unicorn). location @gitlab { ## If you use HTTPS make sure you disable gzip compression ## to be safe against BREACH attack. # gzip off; ## https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/694 ## Some requests take more than 30 seconds. proxy_read_timeout 300; proxy_connect_timeout 300; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN; proxy_pass http://gitlab; } ## Enable gzip compression as per rails guide: ## http://guides.rubyonrails.org/asset_pipeline.html#gzip-compression ## WARNING: If you are using relative urls remove the block below ## See config/application.rb under "Relative url support" for the list of ## other files that need to be changed for relative url support location ~ ^/(assets)/ { root /home/git/gitlab/public; gzip_static on; # to serve pre-gzipped version expires max; add_header Cache-Control public; } error_page 502 /502.html; }
