To be able to manage Omnibus installs, there is one central configuration file required, called gitlab.rb. You need to create this file or copy an example. There is a template available at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/files/gitlab-config-template/gitlab.rb.template. This file is not updated after upgrades. Throughout this chapter, we will quote and discuss elements of this file.
To follow along with the instructions in this chapter, please download the Git repository with examples, available at GitHub: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Mastering-GitLab-12/tree/master/Chapter12.
You will also need to have Python installed to create the Python sample exporter.
