In this chapter, we discussed configuring an existing GitLab application instance. As we have seen in earlier chapters, the options are different, depending on the installation path you have chosen. An omnibus GitLab installation is relatively easy to configure. Just change the setting in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure. Changing the settings in an installation from source requires a bit more attention, because the dependencies between the GitLab components aren't managed as they are with omnibus GitLab. Configuring the GitLab instance running inside the Docker containers is the same as the way you manage the omnibus GitLab installations.
In the next chapter, we will be exploring settings that should be altered in your GitHub and in GitLab to understand the procedure of importing and running the project.
