Installing gitlab on Ubuntu 22.04 docker :: "warning: logrotate: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist"

Question

I am following this tutorial for setting up the gitlab on Ubuntu 22.04 -- https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-gitlab-ce-on-ubuntu-linux/

While running the gitlab package using this command

# gitlab-ctl reconfigure

the process is stuck on this step --

* ruby_block[wait for logrotate service socket] action run

Getting following output on running the # gitlab-ctl status and # gitlab-ctl stop command --

warning: logrotate: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

How to resolve this ?

Check if restarting gitlab-runsvdir.service, as shown here, would help.

Maybe, as commented here, you would need to delete /var/opt/gitlab/redis/dump.rdb first.

The alternative is to use a GitLab-CE Docker image, which would not have any of those issues (since everything is already installed in said image).

Have to say that I'm having exactly the same problem in the GitLab-CE Docker image :( – John Y May 31 '22 at 08:01
@JohnY With which version of GitLab? – VonC May 31 '22 at 16:07

This started after the Docker container auto-upgraded to 15.0. Forcing it back down to 14.10.3 doesn't resolve the problem. – John Y Jun 01 '22 at 09:22
