  description: |
    A **complete DevOps platform** that provides Git repository management, CI/CD pipelines,
    issue tracking, and container registry in a single application.
    ## Prerequisites
    - ...
    **Performance Presets**:
    - `homelab`: Optimized for low-resource environments (limited workers, reduced PostgreSQL buffers)
    - `default`: Standard server configuration for production use
    **External URL**:
    - Set to your public domain (e.g., `https://gitlab.example.com`) for proper clone URLs
    - Affects SSH clone URLs and web links in emails/notifications
    **Container Registry**:
    - Enable if you need private Docker image hosting
    - Requires separate external URL (e.g., `https://registry.example.com`)

    ## Post-Installation Steps
    1. **Start GitLab**:
       ```bash
       docker compose up -d
       ```
    2. **Wait for initialization** (2-5 minutes):
       ```bash
       docker compose logs -f gitlab
       ```
       Wait for message: `gitlab Reconfigured!`
    3. **Access the web interface**:
       {% if traefik_enabled -%}
       - Via Traefik: https://{{ traefik_host }}
       {% if not traefik_enabled and network_mode == 'bridge' %}- Direct access: http://localhost:{{ ports_http }}{% endif %}
       {%- else -%}
       - Open {{ external_url }} in your browser
       {% if network_mode == 'bridge' %}- Or: http://localhost:{{ ports_http }}{% endif %}
       {%- endif %}
    4. **Initial login credentials**:
       - **Username**: `root`
       - **Password**: `{{ root_password }}`
       > **Important**: This password only works on FIRST initialization.
       > Change it immediately after first login via GitLab's web interface!
    5. **Configure SSH** (optional):
       - SSH clone URLs will use port `{{ ports_ssh }}`
       - Update your Git remote if needed
