GitLab v15.2/v15.3 - 500 Error on (first) login

[JedMeister]

Unfortunately, it appears that the recently released GitLab v15.2 appliance (which provides GitLab via Omnibus installer) has a pretty serious bug where initial login gives a 500 error... 😢

I intend to re-release ASAP. In the meantime, to workaround the issue, log in via SSH and run the following commands:

mv /etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json /etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json.bak
gitlab-rails runner -e production "ApplicationSetting.current.reset_runners_registration_token!"
/usr/lib/inithooks/bin/gitlab.py

And (re)set your password, email and domain.

Everything should now work...

This issue did not get properly fixed, and will remain open until it is.

This issue has been resolved in the buildcode and v15.4 should be released really soon (this week hopefully)...
