Hi all,

I've installed gitlab using their packages, following their docs.

Prob is I can't get it configured, running "sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure"

leads to:

Code:
Running handlers:
There was an error running gitlab-ctl reconfigure:

sysctl[net.core.somaxconn] (gitlab::unicorn line 30) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: execute[load sysctl conf net.core.somaxconn] (/opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/cache/cookbooks/package/resources/sysctl.rb line 60) had an error: Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed: Expected process to exit with [0], but received '255'

Running handlers complete
Chef Client failed. 79 resources updated in 01 minutes 13 seconds

I've read that Thread, also seen on Github and added this to my LXCID.conf:
Code:
lxc.mount.auto: sys:rw
but it doesn't seem to have any effect...


My intention is to migrate a running CT into LXC (by restoring my backup) to save resources for an upcoming migration to a new cluster...

Really hoping one of you has a hint for me ;-)
 
THX for banging my head into the solution o_O

after adding:

Code:
kernel.shmall = 4194304
kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 262
net.core.somaxconn = 1024
kernel.shmmax = 17179869184

to /etc/sysctl.conf on the ProxMox Host and running:

Code:
sudo cat /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf | sysctl -e -p

it works now as expected! :D
 
I just uncommented/edited this line in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
Code:
package['modify_kernel_parameters'] = false
