PostgreSQL versions shipped with Omnibus GitLab

note
This table lists only GitLab versions where a significant change happened in the package regarding PostgreSQL versions, not all.

Usually, PostgreSQL versions change with major or minor GitLab releases. However, patch versions of Omnibus GitLab sometimes update the patch level of PostgreSQL. We’ve established a yearly cadence for PostgreSQL upgrades and trigger automatic database upgrades in the release before the new version is required.

For example:

  • Omnibus 12.7.6 shipped with PostgreSQL 9.6.14 and 10.9.
  • Omnibus 12.7.7 shipped with PostgreSQL 9.6.17 and 10.12.

Find out which versions of PostgreSQL (and other components) ship with each Omnibus GitLab release.

The lowest supported PostgreSQL versions are listed in the installation requirements.

Read more about update policies and warnings in the PostgreSQL upgrade docs.
