gitlab: Compile assets on instantiation and make sure DB is properly setup/migrated before unicorn runs There are several actions that needs to be done on gitlab instance upgrade: - we have to (re-)compile assets - we have to migrate DB and also before the first run - we have to initialize DB We can compile assets as part of instantiation process, but regarding DB migration / setup - it is not currently possible to do that as part of instantiation - for that operations we need PG & Redis to be already running, but the first time slapos instantiates an SR it first prepares all services, and only after instantiation is done, starts them all. There is currently no way to hook into starting process, and run some scripts after one service is started but before another service startup... So the solution is: to perform such actions in delayed mode as part of application - unicorn service - startup: it makes sure PG is running and initializes it and does other actions which needs to be done to migrate the DB. Only if/after they succeed the main application is started. NOTE the comment about unicorn/gitlab startup slowness from the previous patch still holds true - so in order to get "all ok" after instantiation, it is required to perform the instantiation several times, because unicorn promise initially fails. /cc @kazuhiko, @jerome
