Setting initial root password fails on GitLab 13.12
Summary
On a fresh deployment with Docker (compose) using GitLab 13.12.2, the password set for root (as described in the docs is ignored and I need to set a password via the UI.
Executing a fresh deployment with same configuration using 13.11.5, the password is used as expected.
There is is similar report but it is already over an year old and I think this issue I describe is specific to 13.12.
Steps to reproduce
- Deploy via docker-compose using this configuration
version: '3' services: gitlab: container_name: gitlab image: gitlab/gitlab-ce:13.12.2-ce.0 volumes: - "vol-gitlab-config:/etc/gitlab" - "vol-gitlab-log:/var/log/gitlab" - "vol-gitlab-data:/var/opt/gitlab" environment: GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: | external_url "http://localhost" nginx['listen_https'] = false letsencrypt['enable'] = false gitlab_rails['initial_root_password'] = "Secure!secure!" ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" - "22:22" volumes: vol-gitlab-config: vol-gitlab-log: vol-gitlab-data: - Open http://localhost and GitLab requests to change the password.
What is the current bug behavior?
On a fresh deployment with Docker (compose) using GitLab 13.12.2, the password set for root (as described in the docs is ignored and I need to set a password via the UI.
What is the expected correct behavior?
On a fresh deployment, the password set in the configuration should be used.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
I added the full log log_13.12.2
From what I see, this is the most interesting:
Running handlers:^[[0m
Running handlers complete

Notes:
Default admin account has been configured with username `root` and the password you specified in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` file.
gitlab Reconfigured!but then later in the code
