Installation using Docker
GitLab provides official Docker images for both Community and Enterprise editions. They are based on the Omnibus package and instructions on how to update them are in a separate document.
Upgrading between editions
GitLab comes in two flavors: Community Edition which is MIT licensed, and Enterprise Edition which builds on top of the Community Edition and includes extra features mainly aimed at organizations with more than 100 users.
Below you can find some guides to help you change editions easily.
Community to Enterprise Edition
Note: The following guides are for subscribers of the Enterprise Edition only.
If you wish to upgrade your GitLab installation from Community to Enterprise Edition, follow the guides below based on the installation method:
- Source CE to EE update guides - Find your version, and follow the
-ce-to-ee.mdguide. The steps are very similar to a version upgrade: stop the server, get the code, update config files for the new functionality, install libraries and do migrations, update the init script, start the application and check its status. - Omnibus CE to EE - Follow this guide to update your Omnibus GitLab Community Edition to the Enterprise Edition.
