Docker Image gitlab/gitlab-ce not starting properly due to random system error

Summary

When running the container gitlab-ce version 16.9.2-ce.0 on my NAS using Docker, it shuts down during the configuration process due to the following error: /opt/gitlab/embedded/lib/ruby/3.1.0/securerandom.rb:75:in `urandom': failed to get urandom (RuntimeError)

Steps to reproduce

  1. On the registry download the gitlab/gitlab-ce version 16.9.2-ce.0 image
  2. Launch the image with the following configurations (using the UI application on Synology): high-privilege (said to be root privileges), no resource limitations, Environment variables: (GITLAB_SSH=30001, GITLAB_PORT=30000), ports: (22 -> 30001, 443 -> 30002, 80 -> 30000), Paths: (/etc/gitlab -> gitlab/config, /var/opt/gitlab -> gitlab/data, /var/log/gitlab -> gitlab/logs)
  3. Start the container, look at the logs in order to see the error

Example Project

Unfortunately not possible with my specific setup, because I'm using a NAS DS415+

What is the current bug behavior?

The container starts, and after running for approximately for two seconds, it shuts down "unexpectedly".

What is the expected correct behavior?

The container starts, and gitlab starts, without the container crashing after two seconds of running

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Full logs from the container:

Thank you for using GitLab Docker Image!
