How to use this image

+We assume using a data volume container, this will simplify migrations and backups.
+This empty container will exist to persist as volumes the 3 directories used by GitLab, so remember not to delete it.

+The directories on data container are:
- `/var/opt/gitlab` for application data
- `/var/log/gitlab` for logs
- `/etc/gitlab` for configuration
-Then run GitLab:
+Create the data container with:

+After creating this run GitLab:

- docker run --detach --name gitlab --publish 8080:80 --publish 2222:22 --volumes-from gitlab_data genezys/gitlab:7.5.1
+It might take a while before the docker container is responding to queries.
