GitLab is slow slow slooow. about docker-gitlab HOT 5 CLOSED

Was it fine before?

1. Since gitlab-6.4.x, the start up time of the container is gone up. But that's just at start up. After which it is fine.
2. Check your system load
3. Clean up leftover docker containers using

$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

Above command will delete all docker containers (not images) that are not currently running. This is sort of a clean up. When I was new to docker, I noticed that this slows down everything.

1. What is the docker version you are using. If you are using docker > 0.7.2, then I you suggest you downgrade to 0.7.2 and check again. Personally I am seeing all sorts of issue with docker > 0.7.2. So I have held back upgrading docker at the moment.

sudo service docker stop
sudo apt-get purge lxc-docker*
sudo apt-get install lxc-docker-0.7.2
sudo service docker start

Let me know if any of the above helps.

Let me know.

P.S. the container by default is configured to run in production mode.
Need to add option to run it in development mode (thought i had already done that)

No it was slow from the beginning. Thanks for replying so quickly btw.

1. That's not the problem. But thanks for letting me know. :)
2. Memory and CPU usage is around 30-40% when loading a page.
3. $ docker ps -a only shows the GitLab container, so no need for that.
4. Docker version 0.7.3, build 8502ad4.. Will try out using Docker 0.7.2 on monday.

Cheers!

Awesome! Downgrading to Docker 0.7.2 drastically improved loading speed.

Seems like this issue is resolved in the latest version: moby/moby#3468

@mauvm I would still advice against updating to docker > 0.7.2
