i want to install gitlab on ubuntu 18.04 but :-( !.

sudo apt-get install -y curl openssh-server ca-certificates
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo EXTERNAL_URL="http://gitlab.example.com" apt-get install gitlab-ee

any solution ?

  • if someone already solve the same problem or something similar, thanks in advance ;-)

  • Not a programing question. Your file /etc/sysctl.d/90-omnibus-gitlab-kernel.shmall.conf is missing Commented Dec 13, 2019 at 2:37

The "Error executing actioncreateon resource 'gitlab_sysctl[kernel.shmmax" mostly points out to /sys being read-only.

See for instance omnibus-gitlab issue 1308

Set these values in /etc/sysctl.conf on the host, and run cat /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf | sysctl -e -p - on the host.
Then run reconfigure in your lxc container again, it should detect that the kernel is already running with the necessary settings, and not make any changes.

Note: the values can be found here:

root@gitlab:~# cat /opt/gitlab/embedded/etc/90-omnibus-gitlab-*
kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 262
kernel.shmall = 4194304
kernel.shmmax = 17179869184
net.core.somaxconn = 1024

I recently tried out setting up the dev environment in a vagrant/lxc container (debian/jessie64 box) and I had to remount proc filesystem in rw mode (using mount -o remount rw /proc/sys) for setting the values.

4 years later and the problem still exists. Luckily the fix still works as well.
It is necessary to do this in LXC containers as of today, it works perfectly. thank you!

I have found a temporary solution. (way it's work ??? xD )

I edit the file

sudo nano /opt/gitlab/embedded/cookbooks/package/resources/gitlab_sysctl.rb

section

Load the settings

to: 

      # Load the settings right away
      #execute "load sysctl conf #{new_resource.name}" do
      #  command "sysctl -e --system"
      #  action :nothing
      #end
      execute "sysctl" do
       command "/sbin/sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf"
       action :nothing
      end

        enter code here

    end


sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
