From a7a2cc13555d63f17ee9a423ab8beda9c4d03fdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Drew Blessing Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:39:26 -0600 Subject: Add `gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false` to HA docs for Redis/PG [ci skip] In a high availability configuration, the Redis and PostgreSQL nodes should not attempt to run database migrations. In fact, trying will result in errors about not providing a database password. To prevent errors and confusion, add this configurtion to these nodes' `gitlab.rb` file. --- doc/administration/high_availability/database.md | 6 +++--- doc/administration/high_availability/redis.md | 8 ++++---- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/administration/high_availability/database.md b/doc/administration/high_availability/database.md index b36cf18d459..e4f94eb7cb6 100644 --- a/doc/administration/high_availability/database.md +++ b/doc/administration/high_availability/database.md @@ -44,6 +44,9 @@ If you use a cloud-managed service, or provide your own PostgreSQL: gitlab_rails['db_password'] = 'DB password' postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['0.0.0.0/0'] postgresql['listen_address'] = '0.0.0.0' + + # Disable automatic database migrations + gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false ``` 1.
