Setting up gitlab basic auth htpasswd

Question

I am trying to have nginx authentication to a gitlab server. I have made the changes outlined here .

But I am not sure where to actually generate the htpasswd at.

I've tried these locations;

/nginx/.htpasswd
/var/log/gitlab/nginx/.htpasswd

Where do I need to put the file? are there any extra configuration steps within gitlab that I cannot find?

Thank you

Solved it. gitlab is looking in the /var/opt/gitlab/nginx/conf/ directory for htpasswd
