+ The <literal>services.gitlab</literal> module has had its literal secret options (<option>services.gitlab.smtp.password</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.databasePassword</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.initialRootPassword</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.secret</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.db</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.otp</option> and
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.jws</option>) replaced by file-based versions (<option>services.gitlab.smtp.passwordFile</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.databasePasswordFile</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.initialRootPasswordFile</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.secretFile</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.dbFile</option>,
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.otpFile</option> and
+ <option>services.gitlab.secrets.jwsFile</option>). This was done so that secrets aren't stored
+ in the world-readable nix store, but means that for each option you'll have to create a file with
+ the same exact string, add "File" to the end of the option name, and change the definition to a
+ string pointing to the corresponding file; e.g. <literal>services.gitlab.databasePassword = "supersecurepassword"</literal>
+ becomes <literal>services.gitlab.databasePasswordFile = "/path/to/secret_file"</literal> where the
+ file <literal>secret_file</literal> contains the string <literal>supersecurepassword</literal>.
