The template set unicorn['worker_processes'] / unicorn['worker_timeout'] in
GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG. Unicorn was removed in GitLab 14.0, so on current
gitlab-ce images `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` aborts with "Removed configurations
found in gitlab.rb" and GitLab never starts serving — the generated domain
returned 502 Bad Gateway (issue #380).
Rewrite the template as the official all-in-one Omnibus setup:
- pin gitlab/gitlab-ce:19.1.2-ce.0 instead of :latest
- external_url http://<domain> with nginx listen_port 80 / listen_https false
(TLS terminates at Traefik)
- set gitlab_rails['initial_root_password'] from a generated template password
- puma single mode + prometheus monitoring off to keep memory reasonable
- drop the external postgres/redis containers (Omnibus bundles and manages
its own) and the broken ports entries ("2224" published a random host port
while sshd listens on 22)
Verified on a live Dokploy instance: domain serves the GitLab sign-in page
and root login with the generated password works.

- move each template's metadata to blueprints/<id>/meta.json (442 files, byte-identical roundtrip with the old root meta.json)
- generate the served meta.json at build time into app/public/meta.json (gitignored); pnpm dev/build run the generator first
- CI validates every blueprints/<id>/meta.json via generate-meta.js --check (required fields, id/folder match, logo exists, folder<->meta bidirectionality) and rejects any committed root meta.json
- remove root meta.json, dedupe-and-sort-meta.js and build-scripts/process-meta.js (obsolete)
- update CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md and README.md
