From 4.2 to 5.0

Important changes

We don't use gitlab user any more. Everything will be moved to git user
requires ruby1.9.3

0. Stop gitlab

sudo service gitlab stop

1. add bash to git user

sudo chsh -s /bin/bash git

2. git clone gitlab-shell

cd /home/git/
sudo -u git -H git clone https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell.git /home/git/gitlab-shell

3. setup gitlab-shell

# chmod all repos and files under git
sudo chown git:git -R /home/git/repositories/

# login as git
sudo su git
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell

# copy config
cp config.yml.example config.yml

# change url to gitlab instance
# ! make sure url end with '/' like 'https://gitlab.example/'
vim config.yml

# rewrite hooks
./support/rewrite-hooks.sh

# check ruby version for git user ( 1.9 required!! )
# gitlab shell requires system ruby 1.9
ruby -v

# exit from git user
exit

4. Copy gitlab instance to git user

sudo cp -R /home/gitlab/gitlab /home/git/gitlab
sudo chown git:git -R /home/git/gitlab
sudo rm -rf /home/gitlab/gitlab-satellites

# if exists
sudo rm /tmp/gitlab.socket

5. Update gitlab to recent version

cd /home/git/gitlab

# backup current config
sudo -u git -H cp config/gitlab.yml config/gitlab.yml.old

sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout 5-0-stable

# replace config with recent one
sudo -u git -H cp config/gitlab.yml.example config/gitlab.yml

# edit it
sudo -u git -H vim config/gitlab.yml


sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:setup RAILS_ENV=production
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:build_missing_projects RAILS_ENV=production

sudo -u git -H mkdir /home/git/gitlab-satellites
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:satellites:create RAILS_ENV=production

# migrate wiki to git
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:wiki:migrate RAILS_ENV=production


# check permissions for /home/git/.ssh/
sudo -u git -H chmod 700 /home/git/.ssh
sudo -u git -H chmod 600 /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys

# check permissions for /home/git/gitlab/
sudo chown -R git /home/git/gitlab/log/
sudo chown -R git /home/git/gitlab/tmp/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX  /home/git/gitlab/log/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX  /home/git/gitlab/tmp/
sudo -u git -H mkdir /home/git/gitlab/tmp/pids/
sudo chmod -R u+rwX  /home/git/gitlab/tmp/pids

6. Update init.d script and nginx config

# init.d
sudo rm /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/5-0-stable/init.d/gitlab
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab

# unicorn
sudo -u git -H cp /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb.old
sudo -u git -H cp /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb.example /home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb

#nginx
# Replace path from '/home/gitlab/' to '/home/git/'
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
sudo service nginx restart

7. Start gitlab instance



sudo service gitlab start

# check if unicorn and sidekiq started
# If not try to logout, also check replaced path from '/home/gitlab/' to '/home/git/'
# in nginx, unicorn, init.d etc
ps aux | grep unicorn
ps aux | grep sidekiq

8. Check installation

# In 5-10 seconds lets check gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H /home/git/gitlab-shell/bin/check

# Example of success output
# Check GitLab API access: OK
# Check directories and files:
#         /home/git/repositories: OK
#         /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys: OK


# Now check gitlab instance
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

P.S. If everything works as expected you can remove gitlab user from system
