Installing gitlab on Ubuntu 22.04 docker :: "warning: logrotate: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist"

Question

I am following this tutorial for setting up the gitlab on Ubuntu 22.04 -- https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-gitlab-ce-on-ubuntu-linux/

While running the gitlab package using this command

# gitlab-ctl reconfigure

the process is stuck on this step --

* ruby_block[wait for logrotate service socket] action run

Getting following output on running the # gitlab-ctl status and # gitlab-ctl stop command --

warning: logrotate: unable to open supervise/ok: file does not exist

How to resolve this ?

Check if restarting gitlab-runsvdir.service, as shown here, would help.

Maybe, as commented here, you would need to delete /var/opt/gitlab/redis/dump.rdb first.

The alternative is to use a GitLab-CE Docker image, which would not have any of those issues (since everything is already installed in said image).
