GitLab: How to disable automatic startup?

Question

I have not found a way to disable the automatic startup and it ends up using too much RAM when I'm not using.

The init files are not inside /etc/init or init.d.

I try update-rc.d gitlab remove and no results.

I am using GitLab 8.5.4 in Debian 8.

Are you sure that you do not have a file `/etc/init/gitlab-runsvdir.conf` ? — marcolz, Mar 08 '16 at 08:47
Thank for answer. No. I do not have any file starting with "gi" in /etc/init or init.d. — Natan Felles, Mar 08 '16 at 12:24
I install with this tutorial: https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/install - Manual, deb section — Natan Felles, Mar 08 '16 at 12:28

Problem is solved!

I contacted the GitLab by their official page on Facebook and here is the answer.

I am using GitLab in a Desktop and it was using ~700MB. If you too want turn off GitLab on startup, just execute in a terminal:

sudo systemctl disable gitlab-runsvdir.service

This seemed to undo itself some time down the line, possibly after an update. – tremby Dec 14 '17 at 04:12

As one might guess, re-enable GitLab using `sudo systemctl enable gitlab-runsvdir.service`. – John McGehee Aug 12 '20 at 00:03
This is really not ideal, as this disabled the ``gitlab-ctl`` command completely. There has to be a way to disable auto booting without disabling the ctl command as well, requiring the restoration of the service before being able to work with gitlab again. – Vinz Jan 07 '23 at 11:33
