No pipelines created after commit & no execution of job after manual retrying a job

GitLab CI/CD
1

Hi there,

We have running a self-hosted Gitlab instance on a Ubuntu VM with Hyper-V. We want to use Gitlab CI for building, testing and deploying our NodeJS / Vue applications we develop.

I now have another VM (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS) running where I want to run a Gitlab CI Runner from. I followed the instructions on Gitlabs own docs: Install GitLab Runner using the official GitLab repositories | GitLab. I installed Docker CE via the recommended way with their repository. Everything looked fine, but when I commit and push my repository, a new pipeline is not created where it created a pipeline before…

I use the following .gitlab-ci.yml:

stages:
  - build
  - deploy

Build production:
  image: node:6
  stage: build
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm run build
  artifacts:
    expire_in: 1 week
    paths:
      - dist

Deploy to test server:
  image: mwienk/docker-lftp:latest
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $DEVFTP_USER,$DEVFTP_PASS $DEVFTP_HOST; mirror ./ ./ -Rev --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"
  when: on_success
  environment:
    name: Development
    url: https:/xxx.eu

Deploy to production:
  image: mwienk/docker-lftp:latest
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $PRODFTP_USER,$PRODFTP_PASS $PRODFTP_HOST; mirror ./ ./ -Rev --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"
  when: manual
  environment:
    name: Production
    url: https://yyy.eu

When I try a to run a pipeline manually, I encounter a HTTP 500. The production.log says the following about that:

  1. Started POST “/namespace/project/pipelines” for 192.168.1.132 at 2018-11-13 14:40:18 +0100

When I google the issue, I only see outdated issues from years ago, so I don’t think that’s the solution, is it?
