Yes, I know. I’ve deployed them, and they crash. While following your full instructions. Because tzdata isn’t writable.

Hi Kuschku,

Thanks for the feedback. Our current Docker container does require root because it is based on our Omnibus packages.

We are working to create a set of lean containers, one for each GitLab service (Sidekiq, Unicorn, Gitaly, etc.), which will no longer require root access.

More details are available in the issue that is tracking this effort: https://gitlab.com/charts/charts.gitlab.io/issues/14

Ah, okay, thanks. That explains my issue with running it on kubernetes. I'll look at that issue.
