-
You cannot push code to secondary nodes, see [gitlab-org/gitlab-ee#3912] for details.
-
The primary node has to be online for OAuth login to happen (existing sessions and Git are not affected)
-
It works for repos, wikis, issues, merge requests, file attachments, artifacts and job logs but it does not work for,
GitLab Pages, and Docker images of the Container Registry (by default, but you can configure it separately,
see
[
replicate the Container Registry
][
docker-registry
]
for details).
-
The installation takes multiple manual steps that together can take about an hour depending on circumstances; we are
working on improving this experience, see [gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab#2978] for details.
-
Real-time updates of issues/merge requests (e.g. via long polling) doesn't work on the secondary
-
Broadcast messages set on the primary won't be seen on the secondary without a cache flush (e.g. gitlab-rake cache:clear)
-
[
Selective replication
](
configuration.md#selective-replication
)
applies only
to files and repositories. Other datasets are replicated to the secondary in
full, making it inappropriate for use as an access control mechanism.
### Limitations on replication
Only the following items are replicated to the secondary. Any data not on this
list will not be available on the secondary, and failing over without manually
replicating it will cause the data to be
**lost**
:
-
All database content (e.g., snippets, epics, issues, merge requests, groups, project metadata, etc)
-
Project repositories
-
Project wiki repositories
-
User uploads (e.g. attachments to issues, merge requests and epics, avatars, etc)
-
CI job artifacts and traces
### Examples of unreplicated data
Take special note that these GitLab features are both commonly used, and
**not**
replicated by Geo at present. If you wish to use them on the secondary, or to
execute a failover successfully, you will need to replicate their data using
some other means.
