Bug Description
I'm trying to use this charm from juju quickstart's GUI, and it's been much harder than the rest. Yes, I have little clue on juju and just playing around — but juju's promise is that this will still work.
gitlab *silently* refuses to start if you don't set the admin password. Yes, the docs say that you should set the admin password before starting it, but that's not needed by any other charm I've used — both mysql and nagios will generate a root password and let you recover it by ssh-ing into the machine. Moreover, I could only see the actual error message by looking at some of the juju logs inside the machine — the web interface just said that some hook failed.
To post a comment you must log in.
In fact, the README does say "edit config.yaml", but it does not say "you must set the admin password or things will break horribly". (And I know there must be a root password before I do a real deployment, but I'm not there yet, so it should really be documented).
