Expand and clarify Geo DR instructions
Improvements to the Geo Disaster Recovery doc: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-geo/disaster-recovery.html
-
Add instructions for taking down primary if it isn’t completely down -
‘Log-in’ is ambiguous in Log-in to your secondary node with...
. Explicitly stateSSH
-
Specify exactly what gitlab.rb
changes are needed to apply to the secondary in order to make it a primary-
Determine if it matters if geo_primary_role['enable'] = false
. If it must betrue
, then we need thetrust_auth_cidr_addresses
config as well. -
Decide if we should store a replica of the primary gitlab.rb
on the secondary. If so, add instructions during Geo setup (or create an issue to make this happen) - moved to: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/4421
-
-
Once DNS change to primary has propagated, update URL in gitlab.rb
to reflect.
