Gitlab hosting. Running with custom user rather than "gitlab".

I am Hosting a GitLab server on Arch Linux.

I want to change the default ssh user of my gitlab instance to a custom user. I have changed my gitlab.yml config and the gitlab shell's user settings. But when I logged in with a custom user through ssh, it got a "Failed to read config" error. Is there any permission setting that I have to change? Or any config that I need to modify.
I noticed that the GitLab server could only run in the "GitLab" user cause when I chown the owner of the GitLab configuration file, It could not run.

I'm not sure about Gitlab's SSH configuration. What is the exact way to change the gitlab server running user on Arch Linux? Is there any step-by-step guide?
