Summary

I've encountered the exact same issue as in: #4566 (closed) following the steps to setup geo replication according to: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v12.9.2-ee/doc/administration/geo/replication/database.md

The documentation misses the mandatory setting:

postgresql['trust_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['127.0.0.1/24']

It took me a while to find the above issue number with the fix. It would be more than helpful if this is added to the documentation.

Steps to reproduce

Follow the steps on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v12.9.2-ee/doc/administration/geo/replication/database.md to setup geo replication. Primary node fails to start correctly after the Step 7 in the documentation.

What is the current bug behavior?

See issue #4566 (closed)

What is the expected correct behavior?

Gitlab primary node starts without errors.

Relevant logs
