Gitlab Change BaseURL in Database

Change URL

After a migration changing the base url in the configuration is not enough. It must also be changed in the database.

• Adjust the variable external_url in the file /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and run gitlab-ctl reconfigure
• Adjust the canonical URL in the database:

  gitlab-rails console
  ApplicationSetting.current.update!(home_page_url: 'https://neue-url.example.com')
  ApplicationSetting.current.update!(after_sign_out_path: 'https://neue-url.example.com')
  

• Reading out a value from the ApplicationSetting via the gitlab-rails console is done using

  ApplicationSetting.current.home_page_url
  

• Clear the internal cache:

  gitlab-rake cache:clear
