Tell users how to get the root password
As part of gitlab-org/gitlab#211328 (closed) - we changed how password entry works to make the instances more secure.
We have not updated /install
, nor have we documented how to go get the root password. This means most users trying to install GitLab will be quite confused.
We should update our install pages (/install and anywhere in our docs site) to reference the new behavior, and also think about the best onboarding experience. Is that this flow where they have to go fetch the password in /etc/gitab
? Is it about providing it on the CLI?
