Confirm gitlab email by CLI
Raw
Confirm-gitlab-email.md

On your gitlab server run gitlab-rails console production

Find your user via user = User.find_by(email: "[email protected]")

Optionally change the user's email with user.email = "[email protected]" Then run user.save!

Get the user's token with user.confirmation_token

https://PutYourGitlabHere/users/confirmation?confirmation_token=PutYourTokenHere

I used this to change my email on a gitlab instance without an email server.

For me it could not find it by email. You are also able to search by eg: user = User.find_by(id: 1) this will get the root user then you can you can user.confirm() and after that user.save this solved my problem. (this will also allow you to change the default email by user.email = "[email protected]"
