Running gitlab and gitlab-shell separately

Question

I'm building docker images for gitlab and I want to follow docker design – one process in one container. Is it possible to run gitlab shell in a separate container (with sshd)? Should I be aware of any pitfalls?

Answer 1

Seems it's not possible, according to these lines in gitlab.yml:

  ## GitLab Shell settings
  gitlab_shell:
    path: /home/git/gitlab-shell/
    hooks_path: /home/git/gitlab-shell/hooks/
