SELinux error while trying to install

DutchSlav · October 25, 2024, 6:11pm

By the way, sorry if this is the wrong category, I found it to be the most applicable

Problem to solve

I can’t install GitLab EE on my Rocky Linux 7 server.
The logs indicate an issue with the “gitlab-7.2.0-ssh-keygen.pp” SELinux module, however I can’t find out how to solve it.
I have tried with SELinux on and off, rebooted multiple times and wiped everything related to GitLab after every try.

Steps to reproduce

Install GitLab using the command provided by the docs:

sudo EXTERNAL_URL="https://your.domain" yum install gitlab-ee

Configuration

None applicable.

Versions

Self-managed
GitLab.com SaaS
Dedicated

Versions

Couldn’t find with gitlab-rake, however I’m trying to install 17.5.1-ee.0.el9
