+## TLS support
+
+Gitaly supports TLS credentials for GRPC authentication. To be able to communicate
+with a gitaly instance that listens for secure connections you will need to use `tls://` url
+scheme in the `gitaly_address` of the corresponding storage entry in the gitlab configuration.
+
+The admin needs to bring their own certificate as we do not provide that automatically.
+The certificate to be used needs to be installed on all gitaly nodes and on all client nodes that communicate with it following procedures described in [GitLab custom certificate configuration](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/ssl.html#install-custom-public-certificates)
+
+### Example TLS configuration
+
+### Omnibus installations:
+
+#### On client nodes:
+
+```ruby
+# /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
+git_data_dirs({
+ 'default' => { 'path' => '/mnt/gitlab/default', 'gitaly_address' => 'tls://gitaly.internal:9999' },
+ 'storage1' => { 'path' => '/mnt/gitlab/storage1', 'gitaly_address' => 'tls://gitaly.internal:9999' },
+})
+
+gitlab_rails['gitaly_token'] = 'abc123secret'
+```
+
+#### On gitaly server nodes:
+
+```ruby
+gitaly['tls_listen_addr'] = "0.0.0.0:9999"
+gitaly['certificate_path'] = "path/to/cert.pem"
+gitaly['key_path'] = "path/to/key.pem"
+```
+
+### Source installations:
+
+#### On client nodes:
+
+```yaml
+# /home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
+gitlab:
+ repositories:
+ storages:
+ default:
+ path: /mnt/gitlab/default/repositories
+ gitaly_address: tls://gitaly.internal:9999
+ storage1:
+ path: /mnt/gitlab/storage1/repositories
+ gitaly_address: tls://gitaly.internal:9999
+
+ gitaly:
+ token: 'abc123secret'
+```
+
+#### On gitaly server nodes:
+
+```toml
+# /home/git/gitaly/config.toml
