improve ha nfs docs instructions
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/support-pairing/-/issues/1038 we noticed several problems related to the docu of setting up Pages on a separate server of which the NFS docu is a sub-step:
-
gitlab_pages['enable'] = true
resulted inNoMethodError
whenreconfigure
ing Nourdin's VM. There is also no explanation why it needs to betrue
at first, but set tofalse
later. Pre-13, it wasfalse
from the start. -
Names of the example folder and mount points from Step 2 onwards seems confusing: why
home
when latershared
andpages
are used?-
<host_ip_address>
vs.<server-ip-address>
should be harmonized - Is the NFS "Host" the "GitLab Server" or "Pages Server"
- "5 data locations" is in the text, but the code block shows only 4.
- Does
10.0.0.1:/nfs/home
needs to lose the/nfs
? That seems to be used only for the client's mount folder.
-
We could try working through this again with fresh support-resources-based VMs.
