Volume problem with running docker image on Windows

How to Use GitLab
1

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to run official image gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest by docker on my Windows 10.
First I tried to run it like below and it worked.
> docker run --detach \

        --hostname gitlab.example.com \
        --publish 443:443 --publish 8080:80 --publish 22:22 \
        --name gitlab \
        --restart always \
        --volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
        --volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
        --volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
        gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

But the problem was that changes in container were not saving. I found that the thing is in volumes. This attaching works only for Boot2Docker VM. Ok, I successfully shared my disk C:/ from host(Window) in docker settings(desktop application) and test it. Window’s folder shared and I can see files in test container.

Now, I’m trying ti run gitlab image like this:

docker run --detach \
    --hostname gitlab.example.com \
    --publish 443:443 --publish 8080:80 --publish 22:22 \
    --name gitlab \
    --restart always \
    --volume **C:\Users\Public\Gitlab\config**:/etc/gitlab \
    --volume **C:\Users\Public\Gitlab\logs**:/var/log/gitlab \
    --volume **C:\Users\Public\Gitlab\data**:/var/opt/gitlab \
    gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

And got this error on container:

Please help, what did I do wrong?

I wouldn’t say that this is solved per se. It’s a work around at best. Per the post,

Error message indicates that it is expecting the owner to be ‘git’, but it gets ‘root’ instead.

So, we need to allow both root or git as options instead of just git.

---- Begin output of set -x && [ "$(stat --printf='%U' $(readlink -f /var/opt/gitlab/git-data))" = 'git' ] ----
STDOUT: 
STDERR: + readlink -f /var/opt/gitlab/git-data
+ stat --printf=%U /var/opt/gitlab/git-data
+ [ root = git ]
---- End output of set -x && [ "$(stat --printf='%U' $(readlink -f /var/opt/gitlab/git-data))" = 'git' ] ----
Ran set -x && [ "$(stat --printf='%U' $(readlink -f /var/opt/gitlab/git-data))" = 'git' ] returned 1
[2017-06-21T16:33:48+00:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ChildConvergeError: Chef run process exited unsuccessfully (exit code 1)

Then it won’t return an error code of 1. But I’m not sure what else might break after that which would need to be cleaned up.
