By checking the documentation at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/repository_checks.html, I was able to find the repocheck.log in the sidekiq pod, but then it goes on to say "Run a check using the command line" and says to do this in the gitaly pod and gives the command `sudo -u git /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/git -C /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/@hashed/0b/91/0b91...f9.git fsck`. This does not work. Firstly; there is no `sudo` in the gitaly pod and you log in as the git user, so you don't need it anyway. Secondly; there is no `git` in the gitaly pod (!!) - that is, the binary is nowhere to be found. The only way I was finally able to fix the repocheck issue was by copying the git binary from my system into the pod using `kubectl cp` and running the commands with that. ### Proposal The documentation needs to be amended to clarify what to do in the gitaly pod on a Kubernetes deployment for gitlab, as the current instructions don't work. It might also be a good idea to include a git binary into the image itself... but that is probably an issue for a different sub-tracker.
