Hi,
My GitLab server is running in a LXC container. I am using it like this for the last four, five years. I have done a regular update which always worked like a charm.
But now, going from 15.7.2 to 15.8.1 it fails with an error that it has no permission to set “kernel.sem” through sysctl.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Here is a bit of logging
