v15.0.0 upgrading instructions

Posted: 2022-05-23 by Horst Prote | Revision: 1
Format:
2.0
With version 15.0.0 the support for the lagacy database config was removed (see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338182).

If you have not done so already you now have to migrate /etc/gitlab/database.yml to the new syntax.

Previously, the config/database.yml file looked like the following:

production:

adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: gitlabhq_production
...

Starting with GitLab 15.0, it needs to define a main database first:

production:

main:
  adapter: postgresql
  encoding: unicode
  database: gitlabhq_production
  ...
