1. Configure PostgreSQL to listen on network interfaces:
For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on any network interfaces
by default. However, Geo requires the **secondary** node to be able to
connect to the **primary** node's database. For this reason, we need the address of
each node. Note: For external PostgreSQL instances, see [additional instructions](external_database.md).
If you are using a cloud provider, you can lookup the addresses for each
Geo node through your cloud provider's management console.
To lookup the address of a Geo node, SSH in to the Geo node and execute:
```sh
##
## Private address
##
ip route get 255.255.255.255 | awk '{print "Private address:", $NF; exit}'
##
## Public address
##
echo "External address: $(curl --silent ipinfo.io/ip)"
```
In most cases, the following addresses will be used to configure GitLab
Geo:
| Configuration | Address |
|:----------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------|
| `postgresql['listen_address']` | **Primary** node's public or VPC private address. |
| `postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses']` | **Secondary** node's public or VPC private addresses. |
If you are using Google Cloud Platform, SoftLayer, or any other vendor that
provides a virtual private cloud (VPC) you can use the **secondary** node's private
address (corresponds to "internal address" for Google Cloud Platform) for
`postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses']` and `postgresql['listen_address']`.
The `listen_address` option opens PostgreSQL up to network connections
with the interface corresponding to the given address. See [the PostgreSQL
documentation][pg-docs-runtime-conn] for more details.
Depending on your network configuration, the suggested addresses may not
be correct. If your **primary** node and **secondary** nodes connect over a local
area network, or a virtual network connecting availability zones like
[Amazon's VPC](https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/) or [Google's VPC](https://cloud.google.com/vpc/)
you should use the **secondary** node's private address for `postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses']`.
Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following, replacing the IP
addresses with addresses appropriate to your network configuration:
```ruby
##
## Geo Primary role
## - configure dependent flags automatically to enable Geo
##
roles ['geo_primary_role']
##
## Primary address
## - replace '<primary_node_ip>' with the public or VPC address of your Geo primary node
##
postgresql['listen_address'] = '<primary_node_ip>'
##
# Allow PostgreSQL client authentication from the primary and secondary IPs. These IPs may be
# public or VPC addresses in CIDR format, for example ['198.51.100.1/32', '198.51.100.2/32']
##
postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['<primary_node_ip>/32', '<secondary_node_ip>/32']
##
## Replication settings
## - set this to be the number of Geo secondary nodes you have
##
postgresql['max_replication_slots'] = 1
# postgresql['max_wal_senders'] = 10
# postgresql['wal_keep_segments'] = 10
##
## Disable automatic database migrations temporarily
## (until PostgreSQL is restarted and listening on the private address).
##
gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false
```
For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on any network interfaces
by default. However, Geo requires the **secondary** node to be able to
connect to the **primary** node's database. For this reason, we need the address of
each node.
NOTE: **Note:** For external PostgreSQL instances, see [additional instructions](external_database.md).
If you are using a cloud provider, you can lookup the addresses for each
Geo node through your cloud provider's management console.

##
## Public address
##
echo "External address: $(curl --silent ipinfo.io/ip)"
```
In most cases, the following addresses will be used to configure GitLab
Geo:
| Configuration | Address |
|:----------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------|
| `postgresql['listen_address']` | **Primary** node's public or VPC private address. |
| `postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses']` | **Secondary** node's public or VPC private addresses. |

you should use the **secondary** node's private address for `postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses']`.

addresses with addresses appropriate to your network configuration:

##
## Disable automatic database migrations temporarily
## (until PostgreSQL is restarted and listening on the private address).
##
gitlab_rails['auto_migrate'] = false
```
1. Optional: If you want to add another **secondary** node, the relevant setting would look like:
```ruby
postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['<primary_node_ip>/32', '<secondary_node_ip>/32', '<another_secondary_node_ip>/32']
```
```ruby
postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['<primary_node_ip>/32', '<secondary_node_ip>/32', '<another_secondary_node_ip>/32']
```
You may also want to edit the `wal_keep_segments` and `max_wal_senders` to
match your database replication requirements. Consult the [PostgreSQL -
Replication documentation][pg-docs-runtime-replication]
for more information.

NOTE: **Note**:
If this step fails, you may be using the wrong IP address, or a firewall may
be preventing access to the server. Check the IP address, paying close
attention to the difference between public and private addresses and ensure
that, if a firewall is present, the **secondary** node is permitted to connect to the
**primary** node on port 5432.

1. Create a file `server.crt` in the **secondary** server, with the content you got on the last step of the **primary** node's setup:
```
editor server.crt
```
```
editor server.crt
```
1. Set up PostgreSQL TLS verification on the **secondary** node:
Install the `server.crt` file:

1. Configure PostgreSQL to enable FDW support:
This step is similar to how we configured the **primary** instance.
We need to enable this, to enable FDW support, even if using a single node.
Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and add the following, replacing the IP
addresses with addresses appropriate to your network configuration:
```ruby
##
## Geo Secondary role
## - configure dependent flags automatically to enable Geo
##
roles ['geo_secondary_role']
##
## Secondary address
## - replace '<secondary_node_ip>' with the public or VPC address of your Geo secondary node
##
postgresql['listen_address'] = '<secondary_node_ip>'
postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['<secondary_node_ip>/32']
##
## Database credentials password (defined previously in primary node)
## - replicate same values here as defined in primary node
##
postgresql['sql_user_password'] = '<md5_hash_of_your_password>'
gitlab_rails['db_password'] = '<your_password_here>'
##
## Enable FDW support for the Geo Tracking Database (improves performance)
##
geo_secondary['db_fdw'] = true
```
For external PostgreSQL instances, see [additional instructions](external_database.md).
If you bring a former **primary** node back online to serve as a **secondary** node, then you also need to remove `roles ['geo_primary_role']` or `geo_primary_role['enable'] = true`.
This step is similar to how we configured the **primary** instance.

If you bring a former **primary** node back online to serve as a **secondary** node, then you also need to remove `roles ['geo_primary_role']` or `geo_primary_role['enable'] = true`.
