backup CRON not working in Dockerfile gitlab-ce

I want to enable the backup task in gitlab-ce.

I am using the offical hub.docker.com gitlab-ce image, the config can be overridden using a gitlab.rb file where it says at the backup section to visit a link where it says to enable the cron job with

0 2 * * * /opt/gitlab/bin/gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create    

Question : how to enable the cron using your image ?

I have created a Dockerfile wrapper that add supervisor and add the cron file in /etc/cron.d/backup-cron.

[supervisord]
nodaemon=true

[program:gitlab]
command=/assets/wrapper
user=root
autorestart=true

[program:cron]
command=cron -f
user=root
autorestart=true

cron proccess and gitlab are running. there is still no backup archives in the backup directory.

@d-kopriwa It looks like we don't start the cron. So this is the issue.

Will you fixe it on a later release ? Do you have any workaround ? Otherwise there is sameersbn/gitlab-ce image that include the backup but is less conveniant to port from a host to another.

@d-kopriwa Yes, it will be shipped with 8.3: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/merge_requests/555

Seems like the build failed

CI build failed for 8201ef6b. View build details

Do you have an idea when the 8.3 will be released ?

@d-kopriwa on 22nd of December.

Is this fixed ? I can't see the change in any revision

Added backup-restore in GitLab FOSS label

Can we have more info ? It seems that the latest version of gitlab does not take care of the cron backup
