under the Check Application Status section
sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
returned Checking Sidekiq ...
Running? ... no Try fixing it: sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start
which should have included RAILS_ENV=production in the suggestion ... after adding that it ran correctly but the service was still not started ... after inspecting the logs I discovered I needed to do sudo -u gitlab -H mkdir -p /home/gitlab/gitlab/tmp/pids ... then ran ... sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start RAILS_ENV=production
which did yield the correct results starting the sidekiq service
