Troubleshooting
This is to troubleshoot https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/245 But it might contain useful commands for other cases as well.
The configuration to add the postgres log in vim is: postgresql['log_directory'] = '/var/log/gitlab/postgresql'
Commands
sudo docker build --tag gitlab_image docker/
sudo docker rm -f gitlab
sudo docker rm -f gitlab_data
sudo docker run --name gitlab_data gitlab_image /bin/true
sudo docker run -ti --rm --volumes-from gitlab_data ubuntu apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y vim && sudo vim /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
sudo docker run --detach --name gitlab --publish 8080:80 --publish 2222:22 --volumes-from gitlab_data gitlab_image
sudo docker run -t --rm --volumes-from gitlab_data ubuntu tail -f /var/log/gitlab/reconfigure.log
sudo docker run -t --rm --volumes-from gitlab_data ubuntu tail -f /var/log/gitlab/postgresql/current
sudo docker run -ti --rm --volumes-from gitlab_data ubuntu /bin/sh
Interactively
# First start a GitLab container without starting GitLab
# This is almost the same as starting the GitLab container except:
# - we run interactively (-t -i)
# - we define TERM=linux because it allows to use arrow keys in vi (!!!)
# - we choose another startup command (bash)
sudo docker run -ti -e TERM=linux --name gitlab --publish 8080:80 --publish 2222:22 --volumes-from gitlab_data gitlab_image bash
# Configure GitLab to redirect PostgreSQL logs
echo "postgresql['log_directory'] = '/var/log/gitlab/postgresql'" >> /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
# You can now start GitLab manually from Bash (in the background)
gitlab-ctl reconfigure > /var/log/gitlab/reconfigure.log & /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/runsvdir-start &
# And tail the logs (PostgreSQL log may not exist immediately)
tail -f /var/log/gitlab/reconfigure.log /var/log/gitlab/postgresql/current
# And get the memory
cat /proc/meminfo
