Setting custom environment variables

If necessary you can set custom environment variables to be used by Unicorn, Sidekiq, Rails and Rake via /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb. This can be useful in situations where you need to use a proxy to access the internet and you will be wanting to clone externally hosted repositories directly into gitlab. In /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb supply a gitlab_rails['env'] with a hash value. For example:

gitlab_rails['env'] = {"http_proxy" => "my_proxy", "https_proxy" => "my_proxy"}

Applying the changes

Any change made to the environment variables requires a hard restart after reconfigure for it to take effect.

Note: During a hard restart, your GitLab instance will be down until the services are back up.

So, after editing gitlab.rb file, run the following commands

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
