# Geo database replication **(PREMIUM SELF)**
NOTE:
If your GitLab installation uses external (not managed by Omnibus) PostgreSQL
instances, the Omnibus roles are unable to perform all necessary
configuration steps. In this case,
[follow the Geo with external PostgreSQL instances document instead](external_database.md).
This document describes the minimal required steps to replicate your primary
GitLab database to a secondary node's database. You may have to change some
values, based on attributes including your database's setup and size.
NOTE:
The stages of the setup process must be completed in the documented order.
Before attempting the steps in this stage, [complete all prior stages](../setup/index.md#using-omnibus-gitlab).
