 Below we describe how to configure a Gitaly server at address
 `gitaly.internal:8075` with secret token `abc123secret`. We assume
 your GitLab installation has two repository storages, `default` and
 `storage1`.

 ## Running Gitaly on its own server
 
-Starting with GitLab 11.4, Gitaly is a replacement for NFS except
-when the [Elastic Search indexer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer)
-is used.
-
-NOTE: **Note:** While Gitaly can be used as a replacement for NFS, we do not recommend using EFS as it may impact GitLab's performance. Please review the [relevant documentation](nfs.md#avoid-using-awss-elastic-file-system-efs) for more details.

-NOTE: **Note:** Gitaly network traffic is unencrypted so we recommend a firewall to
-restrict access to your Gitaly server.
-
-The steps below are the minimum necessary to configure a Gitaly server with
-Omnibus:
-
-1. SSH into the Gitaly server.
-1. [Download/install](https://about.gitlab.com/installation) the Omnibus GitLab
-   package you want using **steps 1 and 2** from the GitLab downloads page.
-     - Do not complete any other steps on the download page.
-
-1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the contents:
-
-    Gitaly must trigger some callbacks to GitLab via GitLab Shell. As a result,
-    the GitLab Shell secret must be the same between the other GitLab servers and
-    the Gitaly server. The easiest way to accomplish this is to copy `/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json`
-    from an existing GitLab server to the Gitaly server. Without this shared secret,
-    Git operations in GitLab will result in an API error.
-
-    > **NOTE:** In most or all cases the storage paths below end in `repositories` which is
-    different than `path` in `git_data_dirs` of Omnibus installations. Check the
-    directory layout on your Gitaly server to be sure.
