I didn't spot the bug report 839702 before opening this one: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839702
Looking closer to the security issue mentioned in 839702, a fix came out recently and the configuration suggested previously should be dropped. A log-rotate file is present in the gitlab repo here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/support/logrotate/gitlab That being said, the current user use by gitlab in debian package is gitlab. So I think "su git git" should be replace by "su gitlab gitlab". # GitLab logrotate settings # based on: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4883967 /home/git/gitlab/log/*.log { su git git daily missingok rotate 90 compress notifempty copytruncate } /home/git/gitlab-shell/gitlab-shell.log { su git git daily missingok rotate 90 compress notifempty copytruncate } Sorry for the noise, -- **Fabrice MEYER* Software and System Engineer* EDF Store & Forecast 13 Avenue Albert Einstein 69100 Villeurbanne France *fabrice.me...@edf-sf.co* *www.edf-sf.com*
