# Convert Community Edition to Enterprise Edition **(FREE SELF)**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To convert an existing GitLab Community Edition (CE) server installed using the Omnibus GitLab
|
||
|
|
packages to GitLab [Enterprise Edition](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) (EE), you install the EE
|
||
|
|
package on top of CE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Converting from the same version of CE to EE is not explicitly necessary, and any standard upgrade
|
||
|
|
(for example, CE 12.0 to EE 12.1) should work. However, in the following steps we assume that
|
||
|
|
you are upgrading the same version (for example, CE 12.1 to EE 12.1), which is **recommended**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WARNING:
|
||
|
|
When updating to EE from CE, avoid reverting back to CE if you plan on going to EE again in the
|
||
|
|
future. Reverting back to CE can cause
|
||
|
|
[database issues](index.md#500-error-when-accessing-project--settings--repository)
|
||
|
|
that may require Support intervention.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The steps can be summed up to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Find the currently installed GitLab version:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For Debian/Ubuntu**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-cache policy gitlab-ce | grep Installed
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The output should be similar to: `Installed: 13.0.4-ce.0`. In that case,
|
||
|
|
the equivalent Enterprise Edition version will be: `13.0.4-ee.0`. Write this
|
||
|
|
value down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For CentOS/RHEL**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
sudo rpm -q gitlab-ce
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The output should be similar to: `gitlab-ce-13.0.4-ce.0.el8.x86_64`. In that
|
||
|
|
case, the equivalent Enterprise Edition version will be:
|
||
|
|
`gitlab-ee-13.0.4-ee.0.el8.x86_64`. Write this value down.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Add the `gitlab-ee` [Apt or Yum repository](https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ee/install):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For Debian/Ubuntu**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
curl --silent "https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.deb.sh" | sudo bash
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For CentOS/RHEL**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
curl --silent "https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh" | sudo bash
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The above command will find your OS version and automatically set up the
|
||
|
|
repository. If you are not comfortable installing the repository through a
|
||
|
|
piped script, you can first
|
||
|
|
[check its contents](https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ee/install).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Next, install the `gitlab-ee` package. Note that this will automatically
|
||
|
|
uninstall the `gitlab-ce` package on your GitLab server. `reconfigure`
|
||
|
|
Omnibus right after the `gitlab-ee` package is installed. **Make sure that you
|
||
|
|
install the exact same GitLab version**:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For Debian/Ubuntu**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
## Make sure the repositories are up-to-date
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install the package using the version you wrote down from step 1
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install gitlab-ee=13.0.4-ee.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Reconfigure GitLab
|
||
|
|
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For CentOS/RHEL**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
## Install the package using the version you wrote down from step 1
|
||
|
|
sudo yum install gitlab-ee-13.0.4-ee.0.el8.x86_64
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Reconfigure GitLab
|
||
|
|
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Now go to the GitLab admin panel of your server (`/admin/license/new`) and
|
||
|
|
upload your license file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. After you confirm that GitLab is working as expected, you may remove the old
|
||
|
|
Community Edition repository:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For Debian/Ubuntu**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab_gitlab-ce.list
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**For CentOS/RHEL**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/gitlab_gitlab-ce.repo
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's it! You can now use GitLab Enterprise Edition! To update to a newer
|
||
|
|
version, follow [Update using the official repositories](index.md#upgrade-using-the-official-repositories).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE:
|
||
|
|
If you want to use `dpkg`/`rpm` instead of `apt-get`/`yum`, go through the first
|
||
|
|
step to find the current GitLab version and then follow
|
||
|
|
[Update using a manually-downloaded package](index.md#upgrade-using-a-manually-downloaded-package).
