Challenges with GitLab Docker Image and Initial Repo Import

[Michael Hoffman]

I'm working on a project that automates the creation of a project's build box, including the setup of GitLab CE with sample projects. I'm facing a variety of challenges 

- Question 1 - 

Is there a way to initialize the root admin account through the CLI? Per issue 1980 (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/1980) it looks as if the default login credentials are no longer available. I need this as I'm setting up GitLab as part of the initialization of a build box and wouldn't have logged in to GitLab yet. 

- Question 2 - 

I need to initialize SSH keys as part of the startup of my GitLab instance, but I have not found any details on how to do this. 

- Scripts - 

Here are the scripts of what I'm trying to do:
