# Downgrading from EE to CE
|
|
|
|
If you ever decide to downgrade your Enterprise Edition back to the Community
|
|
Edition, there are a few steps you need take before installing the CE package
|
|
on top of the current EE package, or, if you are in an installation from source,
|
|
before you change remotes and fetch the latest CE code.
|
|
|
|
## Disable Enterprise-only features
|
|
|
|
First thing to do is to disable the following features.
|
|
|
|
### Authentication mechanisms
|
|
|
|
Kerberos and Atlassian Crowd are only available on the Enterprise Edition, so
|
|
you should disable these mechanisms before downgrading and you should provide
|
|
alternative authentication methods to your users.
|
|
|
|
### Remove Service Integration entries from the database
|
|
|
|
The `JenkinsService` and `GithubService` classes are only available in the Enterprise Edition codebase,
|
|
so if you downgrade to the Community Edition, you'll come across the following
|
|
error:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 497ms (ActiveRecord: 32.2ms)
|
|
|
|
ActionView::Template::Error (The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: 'JenkinsService'. This
|
|
error is raised because the column 'type' is reserved for storing the class in case of inheritance. Please rename this
|
|
column if you didn't intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class or overwrite Service.inheritance_column to
|
|
use another column for that information.)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 497ms (ActiveRecord: 32.2ms)
|
|
|
|
ActionView::Template::Error (The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass: 'GithubService'. This
|
|
error is raised because the column 'type' is reserved for storing the class in case of inheritance. Please rename this
|
|
column if you didn't intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class or overwrite Service.inheritance_column to
|
|
use another column for that information.)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All services are created automatically for every project you have, so in order
|
|
to avoid getting this error, you need to remove all instances of the
|
|
`JenkinsService` and `GithubService` from your database:
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus Installation**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo gitlab-rails runner "Service.where(type: ['JenkinsService', 'JenkinsDeprecatedService', 'GithubService']).delete_all"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Source Installation**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ bundle exec rails runner "Service.where(type: ['JenkinsService', 'JenkinsDeprecatedService', 'GithubService']).delete_all" production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Variables environment scopes
|
|
|
|
If you're using this feature and there are variables sharing the same
|
|
key, but they have different scopes in a project, then you might want to
|
|
revisit the environment scope setting for those variables.
|
|
|
|
In CE, environment scopes are completely ignored, therefore you could
|
|
accidentally get a variable which you're not expecting for a particular
|
|
environment. Make sure that you have the right variables in this case.
|
|
|
|
Data is completely preserved, so you could always upgrade back to EE and
|
|
restore the behavior if you leave it alone.
|
|
|
|
## Downgrade to CE
|
|
|
|
After performing the above mentioned steps, you are now ready to downgrade your
|
|
GitLab installation to the Community Edition.
|
|
|
|
**Omnibus Installation**
|
|
|
|
To downgrade an Omnibus installation, it is sufficient to install the Community
|
|
Edition package on top of the currently installed one. You can do this manually,
|
|
by directly [downloading the package](https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce)
|
|
you need, or by adding our CE package repository and following the
|
|
[CE installation instructions](https://about.gitlab.com/installation/?version=ce).
|
|
|
|
**Source Installation**
|
|
|
|
To downgrade a source installation, you need to replace the current remote of
|
|
your GitLab installation with the Community Edition's remote, fetch the latest
|
|
changes, and checkout the latest stable branch:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git remote set-url origin git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
|
|
$ git fetch --all
|
|
$ git checkout 8-x-stable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remember to follow the correct [update guides](../update/README.md) to make
|
|
sure all dependencies are up to date.
