Confirm this bug.
Suppose that is in conjunction with systemd not initd.
Gitaly don't start. Check log...see that /run/gitlab/sockets/private
don't exists...ok...create it:
mkdir /run/gitlab/sockets/private
chown gitlab:www-data /run/gitlab/sockets/private
and systemctl start gitaly work fine.
But the problem is afret restart, shutdown, etc...the system - the dir
private disapear. Don't figure out who remove: gitaly, gitlab, other...
And seems that with systemd the following from /etc/init.d/gitaly is not
executed:
## RuntimeDirectory
mkdir -p /run/gitlab/sockets/private
chown ${DAEMON_USER}:${DAEMON_GROUP} /run/gitlab/sockets/private
