Impressive release! Is there a guide on migrating from install from source to using omnibus? We currently upgrade from source but would like to move to omnibus.

  Warning as someone who just did that. MySQL is EE only on Omnibus. I switched from Source (MySQL) to Omnibus only to find that MySQL was EE only. So I had to go back to Source.

    You are correct, we only ship our Omnibus packages with PostgreSQL. And the ability to use an external MySQL server is only in the Enterprise Edition. Switching away from MySQL might not be an option for you but documentation on how to convert from MySQL to PostgreSQL can be found on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/update/README.md#upgrading-from-non-omnibus-mysql-to-an-omnibus-installation-version-68 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc...

    We recently switched from a source package using MySQL to the omnibus package and the migration to Postgresql was really easy and went without a hitch.

      Glad to hear that, we try to keep the conversion instructions up to date and have tested them extensively.
