# Disabling Geo **(PREMIUM SELF)**
|
|
|
|
If you want to revert to a regular Omnibus setup after a test, or you have encountered a Disaster Recovery
|
|
situation and you want to disable Geo momentarily, you can use these instructions to disable your
|
|
Geo setup.
|
|
|
|
There should be no functional difference between disabling Geo and having an active Geo setup with
|
|
no secondary Geo sites if you remove them correctly.
|
|
|
|
To disable Geo, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. [Remove all secondary Geo sites](#remove-all-secondary-geo-sites).
|
|
1. [Remove the primary site from the UI](#remove-the-primary-site-from-the-ui).
|
|
1. [Remove secondary replication slots](#remove-secondary-replication-slots).
|
|
1. [Remove Geo-related configuration](#remove-geo-related-configuration).
|
|
1. [(Optional) Revert PostgreSQL settings to use a password and listen on an IP](#optional-revert-postgresql-settings-to-use-a-password-and-listen-on-an-ip).
|
|
|
|
## Remove all secondary Geo sites
|
|
|
|
To disable Geo, you need to first remove all your secondary Geo sites, which means replication will not happen
|
|
anymore on these sites. You can follow our docs to [remove your secondary Geo sites](remove_geo_site.md).
|
|
|
|
If the current site that you want to keep using is a secondary site, you need to first promote it to primary.
|
|
You can use our steps on [how to promote a secondary site](../disaster_recovery/#step-3-promoting-a-secondary-node)
|
|
to do that.
|
|
|
|
## Remove the primary site from the UI
|
|
|
|
To remove the **primary** site:
|
|
|
|
1. [Remove all secondary Geo sites](remove_geo_site.md)
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu >** **{admin}** **Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Geo > Nodes**.
|
|
1. Select **Remove** for the **primary** node.
|
|
1. Confirm by selecting **Remove** when the prompt appears.
|
|
|
|
## Remove secondary replication slots
|
|
|
|
To remove secondary replication slots, run one of the following queries on your primary
|
|
Geo node in a PostgreSQL console (`sudo gitlab-psql`):
|
|
|
|
- If you already have a PostgreSQL cluster, drop individual replication slots by name to prevent
|
|
removing your secondary databases from the same cluster. You can use the following to get
|
|
all names and then drop each individual slot:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT slot_name, slot_type, active FROM pg_replication_slots; -- view present replication slots
|
|
SELECT pg_drop_replication_slot('slot_name'); -- where slot_name is the one expected from above
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- To remove all secondary replication slots:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT pg_drop_replication_slot(slot_name) FROM pg_replication_slots;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remove Geo-related configuration
|
|
|
|
1. For each node on your primary Geo site, SSH into the node and log in as root:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo -i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and remove the Geo related configuration by
|
|
removing any lines that enabled `geo_primary_role`:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
## In pre-11.5 documentation, the role was enabled as follows. Remove this line.
|
|
geo_primary_role['enable'] = true
|
|
|
|
## In 11.5+ documentation, the role was enabled as follows. Remove this line.
|
|
roles ['geo_primary_role']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. After making these changes, [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure)
|
|
for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|
## (Optional) Revert PostgreSQL settings to use a password and listen on an IP
|
|
|
|
If you want to remove the PostgreSQL-specific settings and revert
|
|
to the defaults (using a socket instead), you can safely remove the following
|
|
lines from the `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` file:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
postgresql['sql_user_password'] = '...'
|
|
gitlab_rails['db_password'] = '...'
|
|
postgresql['listen_address'] = '...'
|
|
postgresql['md5_auth_cidr_addresses'] = ['...', '...']
|
|
```
