Mitigate a few Geo HA setup pitfalls in the documentation
What does this MR do?
Mitigate a few Geo HA setup pitfalls in the documentation.
-
Help avoid "customer had 4 front-end nodes each running a tracking database as well as a dedicated node running a tracking database" -
After making an attempt, consider "breaking out the settings a little more granular to help ensure users have the correct settings on each node" -
"clarify that the gitlab.rb files on the application nodes in each cluster need to be the same". Perhaps a warning? -
Consider "Do we want to use the Omnibus GitLab High Availability Roles as opposed to geo_primary_role['enable'] and geo_secondary_role['enable']?" -
Add a note about setting uid and gid to match across all nodes in the cluster to avoid permission issues.
