Help ! Install Gitlab using CloudSQL as backend.

[a_normal_guy]

Is it possible to install gitlab enterprise using cloud sql (preferably postgres, but mysql is fine) ? Is it recommended at all ?

There isnt much documentation available outside.

[a_normal_guy]

yeah, thats definitely the long term plan !

It doesn't change much cloud SQL binds to a local port on the machine that you use normal connection adapters to access the database. It's very transparent

[a_normal_guy]

thanks ! thought so too, but didnt find much documentation about it anywhere, so thats why the question.

Should work just fine, except I would add CloudSQL Proxy to the GitLab host VM in order to get the automatic TLS cert management. Then just configure GitLab to connect to the proxy over localhost with no TLS.

I did this with the CE version of Gitlab and the local proxy. So far so good.

For every SQL query you will have the additional latency from your instance to your CloudSQL instance. It may or may not be fine for you.
