Upgrade to 18.5 - gitaly - connections to all backends failing - projects not loaded

❯ gitlab-rake gitlab:gitaly:check
Checking Gitaly ...

Gitaly: ... default ... FAIL: 14:connections to all backends failing; last error: UNKNOWN: ipv4:127.0.0.1:9075: Failed to connect to remote host: Connection refused. debug_error_string:{UNKNOWN:Error received from peer  {grpc_message:"connections to all backends failing; last error: UNKNOWN: ipv4:127.0.0.1:9075: Failed to connect to remote host: Connection refused", grpc_status:14}}

I’ve really searched and searched for some solution here after struggling to upgrade to GitLab 18.5.

I thought I had finally gotten through the upgrade, and now I have this “Your projects couldn’t be loaded” message.

In the “Admin” page, I can see my project links under the “Instance overview” page, but none of the links work.

I can’t create blank projects either.

In my search I came across this “gitaly” connections issue and tried a few solutions. None worked.

This is clearly an issue that others have had, but I can’t seem to find the solution.

I apologize in advance for posting a new topic on what seems to be a known issue.

OK…I got this resolved fixing the memory allocated in gitaly.
