[DRE-maint] Bug#814713: gitlab failes to start under systemd with: Dependency failed for GitLab Service.

[Johannes Schauer]

Hi,

I have a theory. Could it be that you assume the content of /var/run to be
persistent between reboots? And thus you rely on your postinst script creating
/var/run/gitlab and then assume it must exist after the next reboot as well?

Please read the FHS chapter on /var/run:

https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#VARRUNRUNTIMEVARIABLEDATA

So /var/run/gitlab/pids and /var/run/gitlab/sockets must be recreated every
time gitlab starts if necessary.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
