FreeNAS gitlab only 502's

Software & Operating Systems BSD
1

While trying to make my FreeNAS a little bit more useful (it currently only does SMB disk storage) I decided that I would host my own git on a site. But after trying to install it from through the official plugin way (I’m on 11.3) the gitlab says It’s installed, however the ip the control panel should be at gives me constant (at least gitlab style) 502 error saying gitlab is taking too long to work. I did try reinstalling and some more, but I always end up with that. Plus I’m still not comfortable with BSD, since I’m more of a Linux and Windows user, so I didn’t know where to try and poke. Just checked that gitlab logs seem empty of any problems

Thanks

EDIT: dug a little deeper and it seems that gitlab service never starts, and when trying to start it manually it just doesn’t…

Solved by running service gitlab onestart however I would still appreciate if someone with more insight explained something more about it if it reappears, because other then the fact that it needed something else to run, I still don’t know what, nor why

You get the 502 errors when the internal nginx server cannot route properly.

Did you set the plugin up behind NAT or with its own IP? Otherwise I would refer you to GitLab reverse proxy documentation.
