Praefect
Note Praefect support is EXPERIMENTAL at this time. We do not
recommend using it in production yet.
Praefect is a manager aiming to maintain replicas for each repository. Praefect is in active development. The goal is to achieve a highly available storage cluster, but this is not the case yet, so it is recommended to run Praefect on a different node than the Gitaly nodes.
praefect['enable'] = true
Praefect settings
Praefect must be enabled in GitLab before it can be used.
Praefect storage nodes
Praefect needs one or more Gitaly servers to store the Git data on. These
Gitaly servers are considered Praefect storage_nodes
(praefect['storage_nodes']). These storage nodes should be private to
Praefect, meaning they should not be listed in git_data_dirs in your
gitlab.rb.
