GitLab one-click-app resets settings periodically?

Posted on July 21, 2016

I installed the one-click-app, GitLab CE, and for some reason it periodically deletes my admin area settings for the app. Three times now I’ve been using the app and playing around, and then I notice that sign-ups are turned on again. So I go to the settings area in the admin panel, and the entire page of settings is set to factory defaults!

I haven’t set up repos yet, but as far as I know no other data is being lost. All my personal settings and user accounts are still there, it is just the application’s settings that are reset.

I’m new to GitLab, so I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting.
