The problem

Postgres seems to not work correctly at the moment. The first deploy will fail since the btree_gist extension requires root to create.

Solution

This can be done manually with the following:

  1. kubectl describe pod gitlab-postgres-0 Get the node this pod is running on, SSH to it
  2. On the worker node, run runc --root /run/containerd/runc/k8s.io/ exec -t --user 0 <CONTAINER ID> psql --user postgres It will prompt for a password, get this password by running: kubectl get secret gitlab-postgresql-password -o jsonpath="{.data['postgresql\-postgres\-password']}" | base64 --decode
  3. You are now in a Postgres shell, run the following: \c gitlabhq_production CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS btree_gist; CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;
  4. Redeploy the GitLab container/helm chart and now it should correctly migrate the DB and install GitLab
