I’m using Gitlab CE. When I tried to login as root I could not get in.
When I tried resetting it using the procedure: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/security/reset_root_password.html
the root account could not be found but other accounts still exist:
root@8a709478cfdc:/opt/gitlab# gitlab-rails console -e production
GitLab: 11.7.6 (bcd4e1f)
GitLab Shell: 8.4.4
postgresql: 9.6.11
Loading production environment (Rails 5.0.7.1)
irb(main):001:0> user = User.where(id: 1).first
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> user = User.where(id: 2).first
=> #<User id:2 @cees>
Since I haven’t used the root account in quite restoring a backup is not a good option.
How can I re-create the root-account?
And/or give the account @cees root-rights so I can use that account for administration?
