Thank you so much.

If for example PostgreSQL was not working because of a permissions issue, it's going to be down. So doing the gitlab:check before the restart is always going to fail.

Maybe do the restart first, then the check.

Thank you very much!!!!!!

This is a lifesaver indeed, but perhaps look at this for a more complete take:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/raw/master/docker/assets/update-permissions

how to find password for the "git" OS user ? can we reset it without causing any impact ?

Thank you very much!!!!
