GitLab reconfigure Error: performing `create` on resource 'user [git]' action

I tried installing gitlab gitlab_7.4.3-omnibus.5.1.0.ci-1_amd64.deb on my server.

And with the sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure error, an error occurred.

This is a log error:

Something else:

I saw usermod: user git is currently logged in in my log. And I already have a user on my server named git . So is there any problem and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

The fact that you already have a user named git is likely to be a problem: you will need a user reserved for GitLab.

You tried to do as described in README :

By default, omnibus-gitlab uses the git username to log in to gitlab-shell, own Git data, and generate SSH URLs on the web interface. Similarly, the git group is used for group ownership of Git data. You can change the user and group by adding the following lines to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb .

 user['username'] = "gitlab" user['group'] = "gitlab"

Run sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure for the changes to take effect.

The previous answer is right, you already have a git user. This may be due to the fact that you have already created it or because your gitlab installation is running. If so, you will create a new user who does not need it.

Try:
