Hi,

the example config for nginx(-ssl) is not working with the default (basic) setup which is being described in the ArchWiki.
Link to example config: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/nginx-ssl.conf.example?h=packages/gitlab

The problem is that in /usr/share/webapps/gitlab/config/environments/production.rb we have the following by default:
config.serve_static_files = false

But the example nginx config is passing all traffic to gitlab-workhorse, which then doesn't serve static files.

Either serve_static_files needs to be set to true, or (as I'd suggest) we need a block like this in the nginx(-ssl) example configs:
location ~ ^/(assets)/ {
root /usr/share/webapps/gitlab/public;
gzip_static on; # to serve pre-gzipped version
expires max;
add_header Cache-Control public;
}
