# From 7.6 to 7.7
### 0. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
### 1. Backup
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
```
### 2. Get latest code

2015-01-15 01:34:39 +00:00
```
### 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.
```bash
sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
# 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
# Update init.d script
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
```
### 5. Update config files
#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
2017-02-15 18:27:40 +00:00
There are new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them to your current `gitlab.yml` .
2015-01-15 01:34:39 +00:00
```
git diff origin/7-6-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/7-7-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
```
#### Change Nginx settings
2018-11-13 06:07:16 +00:00
- HTTP setups: Make `/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab` the same as [`lib/support/nginx/gitlab`][nginx] but with your settings.
- HTTPS setups: Make `/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab-ssl` the same as [`lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl`][nginx-ssl] but with your setting.
2015-01-15 01:34:39 +00:00
2018-09-19 16:03:00 +00:00
#### Set up time zone (optional)
2015-01-15 01:34:39 +00:00
2017-02-15 18:27:40 +00:00
Consider setting the time zone in `gitlab.yml` otherwise GitLab will default to UTC. If you set a time zone previously in [`application.rb`][app] (unlikely), unset it.
2015-01-15 01:34:39 +00:00
### 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 is complete!

### 8. GitHub settings (if applicable)
2017-02-15 18:27:40 +00:00
If you are using GitHub as an OAuth provider for authentication, you should change the callback URL so that it
2015-01-30 18:24:45 +00:00
only contains a root URL (ex. `https://gitlab.example.com/` )
2015-01-19 20:19:21 +00:00
2015-01-15 01:34:39 +00:00
## Things went south? Revert to previous version (7.6)
### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the [upgrade guide from 7.5 to 7.6 ](7.5-to-7.6.md ), except for the database migration
(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
### 2. Restore from the backup:
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
```
If you have more than one backup *.tar file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
