Permissions issue

[w1jp]

I am new to this image. I read the readm.md and modified your docker-compose.yaml:

# 241205: trying out this instance.
# jon@gatorbot.com

services:
  gitlab:
    image: alpinelinux/alpine-docker-gitlab
    build: gitlab
    hostname: ${GITLAB_HOSTNAME}
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/repositories:/home/git/repositories
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/config:/etc/gitlab
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/log:/var/log
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/builds:/home/git/gitlab/builds
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/shared:/home/git/gitlab/shared
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/uploads:/home/git/gitlab/public/uploads
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/plugins:/home/git/gitlab/plugins
    ports:
      - "2222:22"
      - "8064:80"
    depends_on:
      - postgres
      - redis
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
      GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${GITLAB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
      GITLAB_BACKUP_SKIP: "true"
      GITLAB_USE_PUMA: "true"

  postgres:
    image: postgres:11-alpine
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: ${POSTGRES_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}

  redis:
    image: redis:5-alpine
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ${VOLUME_ROOT}/redis:/data
    entrypoint: redis-server --appendonly yes

Yes, I have a .env file defined with those variables.

I receved a bunch of permissions errors (see attached):
241206-1449.log

Thoughts?

Tnx,
Jon

What is the value of POSTGRES_USER in your .env file, and did you set / change it after starting the postgres container?

DETAIL:  Role "root" does not exist.

Is innocent, it;s due to the pg_isready check without providing a user.

DETAIL:  Role "postgres" does not exist.

This means that it tries to login with a user that does not exist. So verify what user does exist or stop the containers, remove the storage/ directory and restart (this would remove all existing data though).

POSTGRES_USER=gatorgit

I guess I am assuming that the docker compose up creates that user if it doesn't exist. Otherwise, what user should I use?

On a similar note, is the process to get the default user the same as described on doc.gitlab.com?

It uses the canonical postgres image, so yes, it would create that uses when the database container is first started.

Please verify that storage/config/gitlab/database.yml mentions the same username. You also need to make sure it mentions a separate ci database, which for now, can use the exact same settings as main, except with the addition of database_tasks: false.

On a similar note, is the process to get the default user the same as described on doc.gitlab.com?

Do you mean the gitlab user to login?

From the logs:
