Deploy GitLab from the official CNG CE images as six services: webservice (puma) and sidekiq scale to the topology default, workhorse is the sole HTTP entry, gitaly and a one-shot migrations job are pinned singletons, shell runs gitlab-sshd. The Omnibus container, its Dockerfile and the GITLAB_OMNIBUS_* config groups are removed. All rails/workhorse/shell/gitaly configs and shared secrets are pre-rendered by Ansible and mounted read-only; eleven credentials land in meta/schema.yml including an rsa_pem_2048 OIDC signing key (new value_generator algorithm). Postgres, redis and S3 object storage ride the existing lookups; OIDC, SMTP, the public SSH port and the root password are preserved. compose_volumes gains a per-volume nfs:false opt-out so the gitaly repositories volume stays node-local in swarm (upstream forbids git repositories on NFS); nfs_prep skips volumes without driver_opts accordingly. The Nextcloud gitlab integration execs the CNG rails runner. ruby_single_line dies with its only consumer; ruby_dq keeps test coverage. Ports (8181/8080/2222/8075/3808/9122) and service names resolve from single SPOT declarations in meta/services.yml via vars constants; the version pin sits on the webservice image pair so the updater can bump it. Live-validated in compose up to all six services healthy and migrations completed; fresh-install-only semantics for existing Omnibus data are documented.

Shared Utilities (utils/)
This directory contains shared Python helpers used by custom modules and plugins.
Purpose
Use utils/ for reusable code that should not be duplicated across:
library/modules,plugins/action/,plugins/filter/,plugins/lookup/.
Typical shared utilities:
- API clients,
- validation/conversion helpers,
- path and configuration helpers,
- cross-plugin/module domain logic.
- Shared HTTP(S) connection handler for multiple modules.
- Common validation or transformation functions for user input.
- Utility functions for interacting with Docker, LDAP, etc.
- Grouped helper packages such as
utils/domains/for related domain logic.
Design Guidelines
- Keep helpers focused and composable.
- Avoid side effects during import.
- Prefer explicit function/class APIs over implicit globals.
- Keep dependencies minimal so modules/plugins stay lightweight.
Example Import
from utils.domains.primary_domain import get_primary_domain
What Does Not Belong Here
- Standalone executable modules (put in
library/). - Ansible plugin entrypoints (put in
plugins/*).
