Documentation for upgrading to PostgreSQL 12
Overview
In GitLab 13.2, we are bundling PostgreSQL 12 as an opt-in version for new installs, with support for upgrading to PG12 coming in %13.4. New installs and auto upgrades will continue to default to PostgreSQL 11, but we should provide clear instructions on how to optionally upgrade to PostgreSQL 12 for %13.4.
Requirements
-
Review the docs to find any locations that we mention supported versions of PostgreSQL and make updates to include PG12 -
Add upgrade instructions for single node installs to upgrade from PG11 -
Add PG upgrade instructions for HA installs -
If necessary, update the docs for upgrading an external PG database -
Highlight that HA installs need to be migrated from repmgr to Patroni before upgrading to PG 12
Issue used when adding PG11: #5072 (closed)
