Postgres upgrade from 9.6.11 to 10.9 fails (omnibus-gitlab)

Hello

When upgrading from 12.1.17 (pg 9.6.11) to any of 12.2.x, 12.3.x or 12.5.x (pg 10.9) it fails to start.

After countless tries and rm -R /var/opt/gitlab/postgresql/data.10 I hope anyone can help me out with this.

It won’t start due to the postgres upgrade error.

Upgrading the existing database to 10 failed and was reverted.
Please check the output, and open an issue at:

If you would like to restart the instance without attempting to
upgrade, add the following to your docker command:
-e GITLAB_SKIP_PG_UPGRADE=true

Skipping the postgres update using -e GITLAB_SKIP_PG_UPGRADE=true works but even if executed gitlab-ctl pg-upgrade afterwards, it fails to upgrade the database with the same error message.

And docker exec gitlab update-permissions did not help.

May be someone encountered something similar and can help?
