Data container can take less space on application image upgrade

genezys commented 9 years ago

This is something I have been thinking of lately but never took the time to update the documentation.

Thank you for the contribution !

I rolled back on this. Using the GitLab application image for the data container allows to "initialize" correctly the volumes. When using a base image like "ubuntu" or "busybox", you will basically have empty volumes and will overwrite the existing PostgreSQL database or the GitLab configuration.
