Some quick background, I updated from 9.1.3 -> 9.4.3 using sameersbn/gitlab on a MySQL database and then converted the MySQL database from 9.4.3 to a Postgres database to restore from.
After following the instructions in this projects README and this document. I had to make the following changes to be able to import the database into Postgres.
1) The wrong binary type is used when creating table merge_request_diff_commits
"sha" varbinary(20) NOT NULL,
The correct binary type for Postgres should by bytea
"sha" bytea NOT NULL,
2) Several '0000-00-00 00:00:00' timestamps are not replaced when creating tables ci_group_variables, ci_pipeline_schedule_variables, and merge_request_diff_commits
"updated_at" timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
I replace all null timestamps with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP since the fields were also marked as non-null
"updated_at" timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
But at the end of the day I had a working database, thanks for the work!
I had been using the docker container by sameersbn, until GitLab made their official omnibus docker container.
I encountered a couple of issue's along the way.
