gitlab's new secret.yml generation needs write access to /etc/gitlab

[Pirate Praveen]

Hi,




So far we managed to handle this via symblic links to /var/lib/gitlab.

But now it needs to create backup files which we cannot know in advance.

Creating a backup of secrets file: /usr/share/gitlab/config/sec
rets.yml: /usr/share/gitlab/config/secrets.yml.orig.1744015985
rake aborted!
Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb_file_s_rename - (/usr/sha
re/gitlab/config/secrets.yml, /usr/share/gitlab/config/secrets.
yml.orig.1744015985) (Errno::EACCES)

/usr/share/gitlab/config is symbolic link to /etc/gitlab



Ideas?

gitlab generally needs to be able to write to some some files and directories. and /etc/gitlab/secret.yml is symbolic link to /var/lib/gitlab/secrets.yml (update is handled via ucf).
