[SOLVED] GitLab 13.10.1

tqre · 2021-04-03 13:02:48

Started testing repos on my personal GitLab and lab environment, and the 2 different ruby versions collide.

GitLab looks like to be working on upgrading to ruby 3, but it's not there yet. There are some tools in AUR that enable easy co-existence of different ruby versions, of which rbenv is recommended.

Main problem is that the database migration commands fail if ruby executable points to wrong version, as the commands use 'bundle' to do this'. I even tried to specify the gems -paths to point at 2.7.0 -versions, to no avail.

# su -u gitlab
sh-5.1$ /bin/sh -c "$(cat environment | xargs) bundle exec rake db:migrate"
/usr/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems.rb:281:in `find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem bundler (>= 0.a) with executable bundle (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems.rb:300:in `activate_bin_path'
        from /usr/bin/bundle:23:in `<main>'
sh-5.1$ gem env

     - /usr/bin/core_perl

I got things working by uninstalling ruby 3 version that comes along with [testing], and symlinking the ruby-2.7 -binary to ruby.

# ln -svf /usr/bin/ruby-2.7 /usr/bin/ruby

The question is, how to enable peaceful co-existence of both ruby versions on a server running GitLab? Excluding Docker

Another note from [testing] affecting GitLab installations: the new redis version has it's configuration file at /etc/redis/redis.conf instead of the old /etc/redis.conf.

Got this working. Using ansible to deploy missed some critical pacman -messages:

Have to start using **bundle-2.7** instead of bundle!

(9/9) installing gitlab                                                                        [########################################################] 100%

Gitlab 13.10.1 is in testing and built against ruby 3 (also in testing). If you want that specific gitlab version then you need to enable testing repos and pull all dependencies correctly. Otherwise you hit "partial updates" issue.

If you do not want to use testing repos then install gitlab from stable repos.
