Discussion on: Deploying gitlab on Docker Swarm

right - still couldn't get subsequent containers to be stable, even with gitlab 11... but when i rearranged my shared storage, made tw oseparate gitlab services and altered the stack.yaml file, it works:

also need to add the shared secrets stuff into gitlab.rb for both services

gitlab_shell['secret_token'] = 'fbfb19c355066a9afb030992231c4a363357f77345edd0f2e772359e5be59b02538e1fa6cae8f93f7d23355341cea2b93600dab6d6c3edcdced558fc6d739860'
gitlab_rails['otp_key_base'] = 'b719fe119132c7810908bba18315259ed12888d4f5ee5430c42a776d840a396799b0a5ef0a801348c8a357f07aa72bbd58e25a84b8f247a25c72f539c7a6c5fa'
gitlab_rails['secret_key_base'] = '6e657410d57c71b4fc3ed0d694e7842b1895a8b401d812c17fe61caf95b48a6d703cb53c112bc01ebd197a85da81b18e29682040e99b4f26594772a4a2c98c6d'
gitlab_rails['db_key_base'] = 'bf2e47b68d6cafaef1d767e628b619365becf27571e10f196f98dc85e7771042b9203199d39aff91fcb6837c8ed83f2a912b278da50999bb11a2fbc0fba52964'

(these are the ones from the gitlab docs, obviously they're not the ones i used. i span up a single node stack, copied the data from the secrets.json file, and then put those into my gitlab.rb file.

thanks for the brilliant article - it helped me a lot. now to make postgres HA. :|
