Universal update guide for patch versions

Make sure you view this upgrade guide from the master branch for the most up to date instructions.

For example from 7.14.0 to 7.14.3, also see the semantic versioning specification.

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
sudo -u git -H git checkout LATEST_TAG -b LATEST_TAG

3. Update gitlab-shell to the corresponding version

cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v`cat /home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION` -b v`cat /home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION`

4. Update gitlab-workhorse to the corresponding version

cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v`cat /home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_WORKHORSE_VERSION` -b v`cat /home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_WORKHORSE_VERSION`
sudo -u git -H make

5. 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

# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production

6. Start application

sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart

7. Check application status

Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:

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!
