I’ve installed package “gitlab-ce” on Debian Stretch from repository “https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/debian/”. The installation seemed to go OK, with the Gitlab ascii art showing up, but when running gitlab-ctl reconfigure it has a fatal error form what appears to be the embedded PGSQL service.
Console output is as follows:
================================================================================
Error executing action `run` on resource 'bash[migrate gitlab-rails database]'

If I attempt to use anything from gitlab-psql I get the same error message, psql: FATAL: the database system is shutting down.
I don’t mind deleting Gitlab CE completely as it contains no working data yet. I did try apt-get purge gitlab-ce then re-installing it, but the issue still occurs. Not sure if bad data left over somewhere or a bug in the installation.
