[[Support] GitLab-CE]

I don't know but a Google of the error message  took me to this forum discussion:

 

First of all thank you for taking the time to respond!

 

I had seen that, but it's not resolving my issue. I can run gitlab-ctl reconfigure once (until it fails), but the container will stop itself, so I can't run it again.

[[Support] GitLab-CE]

Hi guys,

 

I configured Gitlab-CE about a week ago, and so far it was working smoothly, but today I noticed it was down.

 

When trying to get it back up, I get the following in the logs:

For what I can guess, it's trying to run some startup scripts and at some point Postgres either dies off or won't answer. I can't figure out what is happening since the container won't stay up for more than 2 minutes.

 

How do I debug/fix it?

 

The repos are almost empty, and I have copies of everything involved, the only thing I don't want to lose is the user accounts since I made my teammates register already. If there's any way to nuke the thing while keeping the users, and start over it's fine by me too.

 

Thank you!
