Default username/password not working.

[quasarj]

I just pulled the sameersbn/gitlab:7.3.2-1 container and launched it with an external myself and red is server. It took a few minutes but it started correctly and I can reach the web interface. However the default login (as given in readme.md here) is not working. I tried a few other combinations I've seen around too (root, admin, admin@local.host, etc) and all fail.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is something else possibly misconfigured on my system? I'm running on an Arch Linux host (no vms).

Thanks!

Sorry, posting from a phone, that should have been mysql and redis above.

Nevermind, it was a combination of issues. The first time I attempted to launch the docker container with correct mysql settings I did not have correct redis settings, and this apparently caused it to half-configure gitlab, but it didn't create any users. Dropping the database and restarting the container caused it to create the correct users.

However, I did have to use "admin@example.com" rather than "root" for it to work.

@quasarj that does not sound right. root is the username of the user with email admin@example.com

I had a similar issue. I could not log in with root/password. I did a bit of googling and found 5iveL!fe is used as the default password for gitlab in other implementations. root/5iveL!fe worked.

Did gitlab make a change to default password?

I ran across this issue because gitlab asked me to set a password on first startup, so I did. Then, later, I tried to use 5iveLi!fe and it didn't work. As it turns out, the password that I set during startup was the root password.

Hi! @quasarj @sameersbn @jeffcichonski @MatrixManAtYrService

I used this docker-compose up -d to start the gitlab service in http://localhost:8929/

None of these combinations are working. Can anyone help me out ?

• root/5iveL!fe
• root/password
• root/root
• admin/5iveL!fe
• admin/password
• admin/admin
• admin@example.com/5iveL!fe
• admin@example.com/password
• admin@example.com/admin@example.com
