Gitlab docker does not store data on mounted volumes

Created by: maxa4e

Using below config according to the documentation http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/docker/ One would expect according to the docs that;

/srv/gitlab/data mounted as /var/opt/gitlab in the container is used for storing application data
/srv/gitlab/logs mounted as /var/log/gitlab in the container is used for storing logs
/srv/gitlab/config mounted as /etc/gitlab in the container is used for storing configuration

Would store the data, this is not working. The volumes on the host OS are empty and the /var/log/gitlab folders inside the docker container are non existant. Is the documentation out of date? How to store all gitlab data outside the docker container in a persistant way on the host os?

docker run --detach \
--hostname gitlab.ourhost.com \
--publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 222:222 \
--name gitlab \
--restart always \
--volume /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab \
--volume /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
--volume /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
--env GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG=" external_url 'https://gitlab.ourhost.com/'; gitlab_rails['lfs_enabled'] = true; nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true;" \
