Running Gitlab Docker

Question

I'm following these instructions: http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/docker

However http://localhost is says Webpage is not available.

Here are the commands that I'm running (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS):

    ole@MKI:~$ docker version
    Client:
     Version:      1.9.1
     API version:  1.21
     Go version:   go1.4.3
     Git commit:   a34a1d5
     Built:        Fri Nov 20 17:56:04 UTC 2015
     OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

    Server:
     Version:      1.9.1
     API version:  1.21
     Go version:   go1.4.3
     Git commit:   a34a1d5
     Built:        Fri Nov 20 17:56:04 UTC 2015
     OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

    ole@MKI:~$ sudo docker run --detach \
    >     --hostname gitlab.example.com \
    >     --publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:22 \
    >     --name gitlab \
    >     --restart always \
    >     --volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
    >     --volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
    >     --volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
    >     gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

    ole@MKI:~$ docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                     COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                          NAMES
    613d4d2d612f        gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest   "/assets/wrapper"   4 seconds ago       Up 2 seconds        0.0.0.0:22->22/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp   gitlab

If I rerun docker ps I get this:

    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                     COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS                              PORTS                                                          NAMES

It says Restarting about a minute ago... ... does that mean there is something wrong internally?

It still does not boot, even after creating /var/log/gitlab/reconfigure manually.

Answer 1

Do what the log says:

docker exec -it gitlab update-permissions
docker restart gitlab

Answer 2

Modifying the docker command to the following resolved the issue for me:

sudo docker run -i \
    --hostname ubuntu \
    --publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 2222:22 \
    --name gitlab \
    --restart always \
    --volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
    --volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
    --volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
    --volume /srv/gitlab/logs/reconfigure:/var/log/gitlab/reconfigure \
    gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

Note I used -i so I could watch it start up, but you can set it back to --detach.
