Trying to disable signup on my local gitlab instance, and every time i uncheck the box, and hit save, I get a 500. The production log shows me the following error:

I’m running the gitlab/gitlab-ce docker container in kubernetes. I’ve poked around on here looking for solutions, including resetting the runner registration token here: Error 500 when trying to disable signup and no dice. Thanks in advance!
