Description

Setting the GITLAB_GRAVATAR_ENABLED variable to false in my docker-compose.yml file after having run docker-compose up -d once (or more) already does not disable the Gravatar integration. It appears to be a first run only setting. It's not documented as such. Neither here nor upstream.

This option was (re)introduced in 088a58d2ce4cad3b8345f411740600a0b1693316.

Research direction

Start with docker-compose.yml and the GITLAB_GRAVATAR_ENABLED handling, then inspect commit 088a58d2ce4cad3b8345f411740600a0b1693316. Reproduce the behavior by changing the variable after an initial docker-compose up -d and determine whether the setting is intentionally first-run-only. Done means either subsequent runs honor false or the first-run limitation is documented in the relevant project documentation.
