Docker-gitlab: How do you access the gitlab-rails console?

[Nepoxx]

I tried using docker exec -it myContainer bash and gitlab-rails was not on the path, what would be the best way to do it? (I want to test my SMTP settings)

After connecting to the container, try this:

bin/bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production

[Nepoxx]

Awesome, merci!

Once in the container, where is the rails gitlab folder ?

[Wicowyn]

docker exec -it myContainer bin/rails console

After connecting to the container, try this:

bin/bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production

I don't know what this command does. When I tried it, it did not start the console. It just printed out some interesting information about the runtime environment.

I'm running the "official" Synology Docker install from its Package Center. Currently is installs version 11.0.4. I connected to the Gitlab container using docker exec as root.

To test the SMTP mail configuration as described here , running
bin/bundle exec rails console gave me access to the console.

I was able that way:
search for your Docker CONTAINER_ID
docker ps -all

eg

docker exec -it d0bbe0e1e3db bash <-- with your CONTAINER_ID
$ gitlab-rails console production

...
exit

None of the above solutions worked for me. As mentioned in this GitLab issue, the correct command should be gitlab-rails console -e production.

So go into your Docker container with
docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID/NAME bin/bash
and then execute
gitlab-rails console -e production
It could take some time until the command line appears.

docker exec -it gitlab_gitlab_1 gitlab-rails console

and wait
