GitLab is incredible. I just read the documentation on setting up databases: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install/databases.md https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/doc/install... So it now supports both MySQL and Postgres, even though MySQL is preferred. Does anyone know what that means for a Postgres guy like me? Does "MySQL is preferred" mean that it has known bugs on Postgres? Is it usable?

According to the release notes GitLab 4.0 offers "Better PostgreSQL support". Unofficial PostgreSQL support has been around since 3.0 http://blog.gitlabhq.com/gitlab-3-dot-0-released/ http://blog.gitlabhq.com/gitlab-3-dot-0-released/ Right now all the tests are green on PostgreSQL https://travis-ci.org/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/jobs/3796920 https://travis-ci.org/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/jobs/3796920

I have it running on postgres Gitlab uses the idea of a notable to signify things that can be commented on. For git commits comments they store the git commit in the column which you need an explicit cast for in postgres I think there is one other thing too. But this was when installed version 3 they may have changed this You can also read more about it on the original support pull request https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/1666 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/1666
