If you’ve ran into a directory permissions problem with GitLab before this may be helpful.

The code below is mostly based on GitLab documentation – https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/configuration.html

# Holds repositories directory
sudo chown -R -v git:root /var/opt/gitlab/git-data
sudo chmod -R -v 0700 /var/opt/gitlab/git-data

# Holds git repositories
sudo chown -R -v git:git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories
sudo chmod -R -v 2770 /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories

# Holds large object directories
sudo chown -R -v git:gitlab-www /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared
sudo chmod -R -v 0751 /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared

# Holds CI artifacts
sudo chown -R -v git:root /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/artifacts
sudo chmod -R -v 0700 /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/artifacts

# Holds LFS objects
sudo chown -R -v git:root /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/lfs-objects
sudo chmod -R -v 0700 /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/lfs-objects

# Holds user attachments
sudo chown -R -v git:root /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/uploads
sudo chmod -R -v 0700 /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/uploads

# Holds user pages
sudo chown -R -v git:gitlab-www /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/pages
sudo chmod -R -v 0750 /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/pages

# Holds CI build logs
sudo chown -R -v git:root /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds
sudo chmod -R -v 0700 /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds
