Gitlab article needs edits

I am newbie in gitlab, so I decide not to edit Gitlab article by myself, but just describe issues which appear when I installed gitlab.

1. Purpose of host:port in gitlab.yml is unclear. I can't do 'git clone' on it. Services which I can use for 'git clone' are gitlab-workhorse and gitlab-unicorn.

2. Setting secret string is not relevant anymore (mentioned here). Instead we should

# cp /usr/share/webapps/gitlab/config/secrets.yml.example /etc/webapps/gitlab/secrets.yml
# chown gitlab /etc/webapps/gitlab/secrets.yml
# chmod 0600 /etc/webapps/gitlab/secrets.yml

and set production secret

# /etc/webapps/gitlab/secrets.yml

...
production:
  db_key_base: "enter_your_secret_here"
...

3. Mariadb section should be deleted.

4. In Initialize Gitlab database 'bundle-2.5' should be changed to bundle.

5. If we just follow Start and test GitLab we will get

Unicorn can't find assets (this solution works). Also we can use Workhorse instead and it should be configured as described in GitLab-workhorse.

Re: Gitlab article needs edits

@lahwaacz, Gitlab article is very helpful, everything works fine after additional intervention which I mentioned in my first post. I have decided to post here because some of problems I have described was discussed on Talk page more than year ago, but nobody has fixed the article yet.
