    [execute] The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "gitlab-psql".
              This user must also own the server process.

          initdb: encoding mismatch
          The encoding you selected (UTF8) and the encoding that the
          selected locale uses (LATIN1) do not match.  This would lead to
          misbehavior in various character string processing functions.
          Rerun initdb and either do not specify an encoding explicitly,
          or choose a matching combination.
