`/var/log/gitlab/reconfigure/` needs to be manually created (gitlab/gitlab-ce 8.5)
Created by: magthe
In order to get gitlab/gitlab-ce:8.5.1-ce.0 to start I needed to manually create the folder logs/reconfigure/. Without it only sshd starts.
docker log gitlab shows what's needed:
Preparing services...
