If you are using HTTPS, disable gzip as in this commit to prevent BREACH attacks.

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!
Things went south? Revert to previous version (6.7)
1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the upgrade guide from 6.6 to 6.7, except for the database migration
(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
2. Restore from the backup:
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.
