(Note that I've never used OCP)

Please make sure that GITLAB_SECRETS_DB_KEY_BASE is alphanumeric string, not integer. The value you set (1234567890) will be recognized as integer (and the error message says so).

NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for 1234567890:Integer

GITLAB_SECRETS_DB_KEY_BASE must be string that has 32 chars length. Please refer the code in gitlab/config/settings.rb or check setting introduction in README.md.
