Relative root issues with gitlab

StackOverflow sure seems to get a lot of good answers. This entry addresses an issue I've been struggling with for some time related to setting relative roots in ruby on rails applications.

I'm using some Turnkey Linux templates with ProxMox and one is gitlab, but changing the relative root I was still missing some icons when loading the gitlab pages.

According the the post above after updating the config files I needed to go into the gitlab home folder and run:

bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=/gitlab

This took several minutes to complete (that's how you know its working?) but fixed my problem.
