Error 502 because dial tcp: lookup gitlab.example.com on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:34251-\u003e[::1]:53: read: connection refused

I have a Problem very similar to #585 (closed) with the same new Gitlab 14.0.1-ce.0 which runs inside of a podman container. Unfortunately the bindmount workaround @ginkel has described is not described completely.

It turns out that I have to copy the following files to /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/pages:

• /etc/resolv.conf
• /etc/hosts
• /etc/nsswitch.conf
• /etc/ssl/certs/*

I am not sure yet why those files are missing, they need to be added and updated somehow permanently. Which means a Patch will be needed.

Also, when looking at that chroot mechanism I wonder how it is prevented that for example @etc is placing an alternate /etc/ssl/certs on his pages overwriting the ones on the server. I would have expected a nested structure like so:

• /etc
  • /etc/resolv.conf
• /pages
  • /pages/some_userpage
  • /pages/another_userpage

not a flat layout as it currently is one:

• /etc
  • /etc/resolv.conf
• /some_userpage
• /another_userpage
