Monitor/Work Around 11.2+ Issues With Systemd
ferricoxide opened this issue · comments
Problem Description:
Per GitLab Documentation Update, with the release of 11.2, a bug was introduced that causes gitlab-ctl reconfigure to block/hang when executed from systemd. Until/unless this issue is fixed, it will be necessary work around this limitation.
Expected Behavior:
Automated-deployments of GitLab versions 11.2+ function as they had with all prior versions.
Actual Behavior:
Automated redeployments fail due to a hang/deadlock that only happens when deployment is initiated from systemd.
(Detailed) Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade a pre-11.2 system to 11.2 (or higher), then attempt to do an automated-redeploy.
- Attempt to stand up a new 11.2 (or higher)
Fix recommendation:
None. Fix is contingent on vendor-initiated code-fix.
Workaround
Move gitlab-ctl reconfigure step out of initial build-process into something that runs after CFn has marked the build Green and after systemd has fully booted the system.
