# Migrating GitLab from MySQL to Postgres
If you are replacing MySQL with Postgres while keeping GitLab on the same
server all you need to do is to export from MySQL and import into Postgres as
described below. If you are also moving GitLab to another server, or if you are
switching to omnibus-gitlab, you may want to use a GitLab backup file. The
second part of this documents explains the procedure to do this.

## Rebuild indexes
The lanyrd database converter script does not preserve all indexes, so we have
to recreate them ourselves after migrating from MySQL. It is not necessary to
shut down GitLab for this process.
```
# Clone the database converter on your Postgres-backed GitLab server
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/gitlabhq/mysql-postgresql-converter.git
# Stash changes to db/schema.rb to make sure we can find the right index statements
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git stash
