You are using Omnibus which is good. The configuration file can be found in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and this is where you need to change any settings. Omnibus uses its own bundled postgres server, but you can use an external one, read https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/8-0-stable/doc/settings/database.md. >From the top of my head the steps would be: 1. Dump the database locally and transfer it to the remote RDS instance 2. Restore the DB in RDS 3. Make the changes in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` 4. Run `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` Pay extra attention to the section about the pg_dump and psql binaries in the docs. PS. If this is an option, try to upgrade to the latest GitLab version first. -- Blog: http://axilleas.me -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitLab" group.
