When installing Gitlab ee 18.1.1 on Kubernetes (helm) I get one of the gitlab-workhorse container in webservice failing. It seems to be because its /scripts/start-workhorse is an empty file. Restarting the pod until it starts working does the trick. k logs gitlab-webservice-default-588974c794-n44zv -c gitlab-workhorse:
Begin parsing .tpl templates from /var/opt/gitlab/templates

Copying other config files found in /var/opt/gitlab/templates to /srv/gitlab/config
/scripts/exec-env: line 14: /scripts/start-workhorse: Success
It seems that with an empty files exec-env exit 0 and the pod ends up in CrashLoopBackOff
