gitlab-ctl reconfigure fails on sysctl because /sys is readonly
If you try to install gitlab in a lxc container it fails as /sys is readonly.
This is a similiar issue as #788 (closed) which has been marked as closed. I'm not sure, how the correct procedure is but as #788 (closed) is quite old and I can't reopen it, I decided to open this ticket. Please close as duplicate if feasible.
