Universal update guide for patch versions
Select Version to Install
Make sure you view this update guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would like to install. In most cases this should be the highest numbered production tag (without rc in it). You can select the tag in the version dropdown in the top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).
0. Backup
It's useful to make a backup just in case things go south: (With MySQL, this may require granting "LOCK TABLES" privileges to the GitLab user on the database version)
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
1. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
2. Get latest code for the stable branch
In the commands below, replace LATEST_TAG with the latest GitLab tag you want
to update to, for example v8.0.3. Use git tag -l 'v*.[0-9]' --sort='v:refname'
to see a list of all tags. Make sure to update patch versions only (check your
current version with cat VERSION).
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
sudo -u git -H git checkout -- Gemfile.lock db/schema.rb locale
sudo -u git -H git checkout LATEST_TAG -b LATEST_TAG
3. Install libs, migrations, etc.
cd /home/git/gitlab
# PostgreSQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
# MySQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
# Optional: clean up old gems
sudo -u git -H bundle clean
# Run database migrations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
# Compile GetText PO files
# Internationalization was added in `v9.2.0` so these commands are only
# required for versions equal or major to it.
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gettext:pack RAILS_ENV=production
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gettext:po_to_json RAILS_ENV=production
# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake yarn:install gitlab:assets:clean gitlab:assets:compile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096"
4. Update gitlab-workhorse to the corresponding version
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake "gitlab:workhorse:install[/home/git/gitlab-workhorse]" RAILS_ENV=production
5. Update gitaly to the corresponding version
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake "gitlab:gitaly:install[/home/git/gitaly,/home/git/repositories]" RAILS_ENV=production
6. Update gitlab-shell to the corresponding version
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION) -b v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION)
sudo -u git -H sh -c 'if [ -x bin/compile ]; then bin/compile; fi'
7. Update gitlab-pages to the corresponding version (skip if not using pages)
cd /home/git/gitlab-pages
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_PAGES_VERSION)
sudo -u git -H make
8. Install/Update gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer (optional) [STARTER ONLY]
If you're interested in using GitLab's new elasticsearch repository indexer (currently in beta) please follow the instructions on the document linked above and enable the indexer usage in the GitLab admin settings.
9. Start application
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
10. Check application status
Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade complete!
