Wrong URL for Avatar Icon on Dashboard
Created by: the-holger
Hi all!
I upgraded today from 6.9.0 to 7.0.0 via the Omnibus package. Upgrade worked pretty well, but I ran into a tiny issue:
My user avatar on the dashboard (and just for my activities) is linked to as: https://gitlab.example.com/uploads/user/avatar/2/Owl_small.png, which of course is not my url.
edit: This is only true for all activities that occurred before the upgrade. I just pushed something to a repo and the avatar is fine for that.
I guess it's a result of me forgetting to change that value in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb before I ran gitlab-ctl reconfigure.
After I noticed that I fixed /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb accordingly (i.e. it now says external_url 'https://git.myrealdomain.com'), I also added to correct options to enable https. Ran gitlab-ctl reconfigure again and no change in the avatar URLs.
Cheers! Holger
PS: Issue is easily fixed by removing and re-adding an avatar. Was just not expecting that behaviour when changing the external_url parameter
