I'm trying to launch a GitLab or Gitea docker container in my QNAP NAS (Container Station) and, for some reason, when I restart the container, it won't start back up because files are lost (it seems).

For example, for GitLab it gives me errors saying runsvdir-start and gitlab-ctl don't exist. For Gitea it's the s6-supervise file.

Now I am launching the container like this, just to keep it simple:

docker run -d --privileged --restart always gitea/gitea:latest

A simple docker stop .... and docker start .... breaks it. How do I troubleshoot something like this?

QNAP has sent this issue to R&D and they were able to replicate it. It's a bug and will probably be fixed in a new Container Station update.

It's now fixed in QTS 4.3.6.20190906 and later.

  • Do you have a case/issue tracker that we can use to follow the bug? – David Ledger Aug 18 '19 at 01:35
  • Unfortunately no. I'm communicating via a private support ticket and I'm waiting on an update right now. I'll update this post when they fix it. – mignz Aug 18 '19 at 14:00

Normal to lose you data if you launch just : 

docker run -d --privileged --restart always gitea/gitea:latest

You should use VOLUME to sharing folder between your host and docker host for example :

docker run -d --privileged -v ./gitea:/data -p 3000:3000 -p 222:22 --restart always gitea/gitea:latest

Or use docker-compose.yml (see the official docs).

  • Unfortunately that's not it. I was using volumes all the time. The volume data is kept, but after a restart, it still says that the s6-supervise file is missing. – mignz Jun 19 '19 at 11:01
  • You had test without using --privileged Running a container with the --privileged flag gives all the capabilities to the container and also access to the host’s devices (everything that is under the /dev folder). – seddikomar Jun 19 '19 at 12:28
  • I have tested with and without the privileged flag. – mignz Jun 20 '19 at 00:20
