Gitlab Cannot start runsv is not running

Question

I just upgraded my gitlab-ce version to the latest version using this command

sudo yum install gitlab-ce-12.1.3-ce.0.el7.x86_64

the upgrade works well, but after restart the gitlab service won't start, when I run this command

sudo gitlab-ctl start

fail: alertmanager: runsv not running
fail: gitaly: runsv not running
fail: gitlab-monitor: runsv not running
fail: gitlab-workhorse: runsv not running
fail: grafana: runsv not running
fail: logrotate: runsv not running
fail: nginx: runsv not running
fail: node-exporter: runsv not running
fail: postgres-exporter: runsv not running
fail: postgresql: runsv not running
fail: prometheus: runsv not running
fail: redis: runsv not running
fail: redis-exporter: runsv not running
fail: sidekiq: runsv not running
fail: unicorn: runsv not running

and then I try to start the gitlab-runsv by using this command

systemctl start gitlab-runsvdir.service

But it freezes and not doing anything!!, I must use the CTRL+C to quit and when I run the journal-ctl it don't showing anything.

journalctl -u gitlab-runsvdir.service
-- No entries --

My Environment is Centos 7.

Answer 1

I faced the problem on my ubuntu-20. Previously i had disabled my gitlab-runsvdir.service. That was the reason for my problem. so what i did

sudo systemctl enable gitlab-runsvdir.service
sudo systemctl start gitlab-runsvdir.service

I left this answer on a similar issue: Gitlab not starting after upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04

I ran into a similar runsv error, but only saw it for once service, not the whole list you have. These steps are a log of my attempts to get it working - probably not a direct line, but my local Gitlab does work now:

In the CentOS vm:

• vi /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

• • change the external_url from http://example.gitlab.com to http://192.168.1.131

• sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

• • first observed the error runsv not running

• yum update -y

• sudo gitlab-ctl status

• sudo gitlab-ctl restart

• sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

• systemctl start gitlab-runsvdir.service

• systemctl status gitlab-runsvdir.service

• sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

• • still saw an error about runsv not running, several times, but it was never a blocker and the reconfigure was successful

On host

• navigate to 192.168.1.131

• See the prompt for root password

As for the issue with Postgres, I'm not sure
