# Geo with external PostgreSQL instances[](#geo-with-external-postgresql-instances-premium-only "Permalink")
如果您使用的*不是由 Omnibus 管理*的 PostgreSQL 实例,则此文档很重要. 这包括 AWS RDS 之类的云托管实例,或者手动安装和配置的 PostgreSQL 实例.
**注意:**我们强烈建议运行 Omnibus 管理的实例,因为它们是积极开发和测试的. 我们的目标是与大多数外部数据库(不受 Omnibus 管理)兼容,但我们不保证兼容性.
## **Primary** node[](#primary-node "Permalink")
1. SSH 到 GitLab **主**应用程序服务器并以 root 用户身份登录:
```
sudo -i
```
2. 编辑`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`并为您的节点添加一个**唯一的** ID(任意值):
```
# The unique identifier for the Geo node.
gitlab_rails['geo_node_name'] = '<node_name_here>'
```
3. 重新配置**主**节点以使更改生效:
```
gitlab-ctl reconfigure
```
4. 执行以下命令以将节点定义**为主**节点:
```
gitlab-ctl set-geo-primary-node
```
该命令将使用您在`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`定义的`external_url` .
### Configure the external database to be replicated[](#configure-the-external-database-to-be-replicated "Permalink")
要设置外部数据库,您可以:
* 自己设置流复制(例如,在 AWS RDS 中).
* 手动执行 Omnibus 配置,如下所示.
#### Leverage your cloud provider’s tools to replicate the primary database[](#leverage-your-cloud-providers-tools-to-replicate-the-primary-database "Permalink")
假设您在使用 RDS 的 AWS EC2 上设置了一个主节点. 现在,您仅可以在其他区域中创建只读副本,复制过程将由 AWS 管理. 确保已根据需要设置了网络 ACL,子网和安全组,以便辅助应用程序节点可以访问数据库.
以下说明详细说明了如何为常见的云提供程序创建只读副本:
* Amazon RDS- [创建只读副本](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ReadRepl.html#USER_ReadRepl.Create)
* PostgreSQL 的 Azure 数据库-在 PostgreSQL 的 Azure 数据库中[创建和管理只读副本](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/howto-read-replicas-portal)
设置只读副本后,您可以跳过以[配置辅助应用程序节点](#configure-secondary-application-nodes-to-use-the-external-read-replica) .
#### Manually configure the primary database for replication[](#manually-configure-the-primary-database-for-replication "Permalink")
[`geo_primary_role`](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/roles/)通过更改`pg_hba.conf`和`postgresql.conf`来配置要复制的**主**节点数据库. 手动对外部数据库配置进行以下配置更改,并确保稍后重新启动 PostgreSQL 才能使更改生效:
```
##
## Geo Primary Role
## - pg_hba.conf
##
host all all <trusted primary IP>/32 md5
host replication gitlab_replicator <trusted primary IP>/32 md5
host all all <trusted secondary IP>/32 md5
host replication gitlab_replicator <trusted secondary IP>/32 md5
```
```
##
## Geo Primary Role
## - postgresql.conf
##
wal_level = hot_standby
max_wal_senders = 10
wal_keep_segments = 50
max_replication_slots = 1 # number of secondary instances
hot_standby = on
```
## **Secondary** nodes[](#secondary-nodes "Permalink")
### Manually configure the replica database[](#manually-configure-the-replica-database "Permalink")
手动对外部副本数据库的`pg_hba.conf`和`postgresql.conf`进行以下配置更改,并确保之后重新启动 PostgreSQL 才能使更改生效:
```
##
## Geo Secondary Role
## - pg_hba.conf
##
host all all <trusted secondary IP>/32 md5
host replication gitlab_replicator <trusted secondary IP>/32 md5
host all all <trusted primary IP>/24 md5
```
```
##
## Geo Secondary Role
## - postgresql.conf
##
wal_level = hot_standby
max_wal_senders = 10
wal_keep_segments = 10
hot_standby = on
```
### Configure **secondary** application nodes to use the external read-replica[](#configure-secondary-application-nodes-to-use-the-external-read-replica "Permalink")
对于 Omnibus, [`geo_secondary_role`](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/roles/)具有三个主要功能:
1. 配置副本数据库.
2. 配置跟踪数据库.
3. 启用[地理日志光标](index.html#geo-log-cursor) (本节未介绍).
要配置与外部只读副本数据库的连接并启用 Log Cursor,请执行以下操作:
1. SSH 到 GitLab **辅助**应用程序服务器并以 root 用户身份登录:
```
sudo -i
```
2. 编辑`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`并添加以下内容
```
##
## Geo Secondary role
## - configure dependent flags automatically to enable Geo
##
roles ['geo_secondary_role']
# note this is shared between both databases,
# make sure you define the same password in both
gitlab_rails['db_password'] = '<your_password_here>'
gitlab_rails['db_username'] = 'gitlab'
gitlab_rails['db_host'] = '<database_read_replica_host>'
# Disable the bundled Omnibus PostgreSQL, since we are
# using an external PostgreSQL
postgresql['enable'] = false
```
3. 保存文件并[重新配置 GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.html#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure)
### Configure the tracking database[](#configure-the-tracking-database "Permalink")
**辅助**节点使用单独的 PostgreSQL 安装作为跟踪数据库,以跟踪复制状态并自动从潜在的复制问题中恢复. 设置了`roles ['geo_secondary_role']` Omnibus 会自动配置跟踪数据库. 如果要在 Omnibus 外部运行此数据库,请按照以下说明进行操作.
如果您将云托管服务用于跟踪数据库,则可能需要向跟踪数据库用户授予其他角色(默认情况下,这是`gitlab_geo` ):
* Amazon RDS 需要[`rds_superuser`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Appendix.PostgreSQL.CommonDBATasks.html#Appendix.PostgreSQL.CommonDBATasks.Roles)角色.
* PostgreSQL 的 Azure 数据库需要[`azure_pg_admin`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/howto-create-users#how-to-create-additional-admin-users-in-azure-database-for-postgresql)角色.
跟踪数据库需要与**辅助**副本数据库建立[FDW](https://s0www0postgresql0org.icopy.site/docs/11/postgres-fdw.html)连接以提高性能.
如果您准备好将外部数据库用作跟踪数据库,请按照以下说明使用它:
**注意:**如果您要将 AWS RDS 用作跟踪数据库,请确保其有权访问辅助数据库. 不幸的是,仅分配相同的安全组是不够的,因为出站规则不适用于 RDS PostgreSQL 数据库. 因此,您需要将入站规则显式添加到只读副本的安全组,以允许来自跟踪数据库的端口 5432 上的所有 TCP 通信.
1. 通过手动更改与跟踪数据库关联的`pg_hba.conf` ,确保辅助节点可以与跟踪数据库通信. 请记住,之后要重新启动 PostgreSQL 才能使更改生效:
```
##
## Geo Tracking Database Role
## - pg_hba.conf
##
host all all <trusted tracking IP>/32 md5
host all all <trusted secondary IP>/32 md5
```
2. SSH 到 GitLab **辅助**服务器并以 root 用户身份登录:
```
sudo -i
```
3. 使用 PostgreSQL 实例的机器的连接参数和凭据编辑`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` :
```
geo_secondary['db_username'] = 'gitlab_geo'
geo_secondary['db_password'] = '<your_password_here>'
geo_secondary['db_host'] = '<tracking_database_host>'
geo_secondary['db_port'] = <tracking_database_port> # change to the correct port
geo_secondary['db_fdw'] = true # enable FDW
geo_postgresql['enable'] = false # don't use internal managed instance
```
4. 保存文件并[重新配置 GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.html#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure)
5. 运行跟踪数据库迁移:
```
gitlab-rake geo:db:create
gitlab-rake geo:db:migrate
```
6. 配置[PostgreSQL FDW](https://s0www0postgresql0org.icopy.site/docs/11/postgres-fdw.html)连接和凭据:
将下面的脚本保存在一个文件中,例如. `/tmp/geo_fdw.sh`并修改连接参数以匹配您的环境. 执行它以建立 FDW 连接.
```
#!/bin/bash
# Secondary Database connection params:
DB_HOST="<public_ip_or_vpc_private_ip>"
DB_NAME="gitlabhq_production"
DB_USER="gitlab"
DB_PASS="<your_password_here>"
DB_PORT="5432"
# Tracking Database connection params:
GEO_DB_HOST="<public_ip_or_vpc_private_ip>"
GEO_DB_NAME="gitlabhq_geo_production"
GEO_DB_USER="gitlab_geo"
GEO_DB_PORT="5432"
query_exec () {
gitlab-psql -h $GEO_DB_HOST -U $GEO_DB_USER -d $GEO_DB_NAME -p $GEO_DB_PORT -c "${1}"
}
query_exec "CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw;"
query_exec "CREATE SERVER gitlab_secondary FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw OPTIONS (host '${DB_HOST}', dbname '${DB_NAME}', port '${DB_PORT}');"
query_exec "CREATE USER MAPPING FOR ${GEO_DB_USER} SERVER gitlab_secondary OPTIONS (user '${DB_USER}', password '${DB_PASS}');"
query_exec "CREATE SCHEMA gitlab_secondary;"
query_exec "GRANT USAGE ON FOREIGN SERVER gitlab_secondary TO ${GEO_DB_USER};"
```
**注意:**上面的脚本模板使用`gitlab-psql`因为它打算从 Geo 机器上执行,但是您可以将其更改为`psql`并从任何有权访问数据库的机器上运行. 我们还建议将`psql`用于 AWS RDS.
7. 保存文件并[重新启动 GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.html#omnibus-gitlab-restart)
8. Populate the FDW tables:
```
gitlab-rake geo:db:refresh_foreign_tables
