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 # PostgreSQL sudo chown -R -v gitlab-psql:git /var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data sudo chmod -R -v 0700 /var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check
