How to Use GitLab

My Gitlab instance won’t start anymore since the update I did to 7.9.2 and the reboot after that.

If i tail the logs of redis I get the following:

The logs of sidekiq tell me the following:

I guess something is going wrong with redis, and a unixsocket isn’t created. Does anybody know what’s going on here?

The errors were pretty fuzzy and not consistent. I ended up shutting down my server (hard-shutdown because a simple shutdown -h now didn’t work). After that it could notice the whole system was running a lot faster. I have no clue about what could have been the problem but it’s fixed :blush:
