Updates broken

[saschafoerster]

After trying to update gitlab a while ago, now I am not able to start anything again. First of all: I don't know the last version of GitLab, which was successfully running on my Synology. I only found this file /volume1/docker/gitlab/tmp/VERSION saying 11.5.0, but I don't trust this file to much, maybe this was installed, when I tried to update, but it never run?

When I try to reinstall with different version, I often get error messages about binding errors, like this:

Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: '/volume1/docker/gitlab/gitlab' does not exists
Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: '/volume1/docker/gitlab/gitlab' does not exists

The existing folders are:

• /volume1/docker/gitlab (with all files from gitlab)
• /volume1/docker/gitlab-db/9.6/main (seems like it was already migrated to PostgreSQL?)

I would be happy to get some help getting this package running again (so I can switch to gitea). :)

Well, it looks like you have simply installed the synology_gitlab 11.0.4-0053 over the synology_gitlab_jboxberger 11.5.0-0102. This is not possible as mentioned here.

To get the package working again, i reccommend you. 1) BACKUP (/volume1/docker/gitlab and * /volume1/docker/gitlab-db) 2) Uninstall synology_gitlab 11.0.4-0053 ( KEEP ALL DATA !) 3) Reinstall synology_gitlab_jboxberger 11.5.0-0102 ( USING PREVIOUS CONFIG SETTINGS AND CREDENTIALS)

Then your package should work again. From there you should be able to update to synology_gitlab_jboxberger 11.5.1-0102 and migrate to synology_gitlab 11.5.1-0053 or to Gitea.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Right now I was able to install synology_gitlab_jboxberger 11.5.0-0102 and I had a running system. Next: I followed the steps described here: Migration. When I tried to install synology-gitlab-stock-aio-11.5.1-0053.spk, I got the following error messages:

I added this folder manually, next one: :)

No you do not followed the migration instructions.

You try to migrate from 11.5.0-0102 to 11.5.1-0053 ... Migration Says: "Migration only works within a version. restoring a backup from version 11.5.0 to 11.5.1 or from 11.5.1 to 11.5.0 will NOT work"

You have not moved the original Folders. Migration Says: "# 3. move old gitlab data out of the way."

With this careless attitude you will ruin you repo, i promise. As i wrote before

Then your package should work again. From there you should be able to update to synology_gitlab_jboxberger 11.5.1-0102 and migrate to synology_gitlab 11.5.1-0053 or to Gitea.

[saschafoerster]

Sorry I was not carless with the updates, but careless with copy-pasting the correct version-numbers. I started with synology-gitlab-jboxberger-aio-11.5.0-0102.spk, which worked fine. Then I updated to synology-gitlab-jboxberger-aio-11.5.1-0102.spk, which also seemed to work fine. I could login, see the version number in the administration field, so it seemed okay to me. Weird was, that there was first an error-message in the backend of the Synology-package manager, but after some waiting everything worked fine. I expected some questions about the configuration, but they didn't appear this second time. But because it worked in the end, it didn't stop me there.

Then I followed the migration steps to move from synology-gitlab-jboxberger-aio-11.5.1-0102.spk to synology-gitlab-stock-aio-11.5.1-0053.spk. I followed all the steps in the migration-tutorial, and I finished all the steps (but kept the backups separatly).

GitLab was running stable in docker, but I couldn't reach it, neither from outside or from inside via curl, . My guess was, that the configuration was not properly copied. I had to make some manual changes some time ago: https://github.com/jboxberger/synology-gitlab-jboxberger/issues/3#issuecomment-395595962

The actual config in /var/packages/Docker-GitLab/etc/config looked like this:

HTTP_PORT="30000"
SSH_PORT="30001"
OTP_SALT="[REMOVED]"
DB_SALT="[REMOVED]"
SECRETS_SALT="[REMOVED]"
HOSTNAME="[REMOVED]"
ADMIN_EMAIL="[REMOVED]"
SMTP_ENABLE="true"
SMTP_ADDR="[REMOVED]"
SMTP_PORT="[REMOVED]"
SMTP_USER="[REMOVED]"
SMTP_PASS="[REMOVED]"
SMTP_VERIFY="true"
SHARE="gitlab"
VERSION="0053"

So my guess was; I had to add this lines manually again, so I could connect to Gitlab again:

GITLAB_PORT="443"
GITLAB_HTTPS="true"

I stopped the container in package manager, changed the config file, started again. Now I am waiting. :)

[saschafoerster]

And it worked. I had to change it manually in the Synology-docker-options and I had to switch the nginx-proxy in Synology from https to http. Now I will try to update to the newest version.

[saschafoerster]

And updated to the newest version. Usually there where some questions after uploading the package in package manager. Now there is just a error message. When I click it away, the update is still running and working. So at least my basic problem is solved. Thank you very much for your help and this package!
