Start or stop the GitLab CE server

To start, stop or restart GitLab and all its components you just need to run the gitlab-ctl command.

• Start all GitLab components:

  $ sudo gitlab-ctl start
  

• Stop all GitLab components:

  $ sudo gitlab-ctl stop
  

• Restart all GitLab components:

  $ sudo gitlab-ctl restart
  

To start, stop or restart an individual component, run the gitlab-cli command specifying both the action and the service:

    $ sudo gitlab-ctl restart sidekiq
