|
## 5. Update config files
|
|
|
|
### New configuration options for gitlab.yml
|
|
|
|
There are new configuration options available for gitlab.yml. View them with the command below and apply them to your current gitlab.yml if desired.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git diff 6-7-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example 6-8-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### MySQL? Remove reaping frequency
|
|
|
|
If you are using MySQL as a database, remove `reaping_frequency` from you database.yml to prevent crashes. [Relevant commit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/5163a8fcb9cfd63435560fda00173b76df2ccc93).
|
|
|
|
### HTTPS? Disable gzip
|
|
|
|
If you are using HTTPS, disable gzip as in [this commit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/563fec734912d81cd7caea6fa8ec2b397fb72a9b) to prevent BREACH attacks.
|
|
|
|
### Turn on asset compression
|
|
|
|
To improve performance, enable gzip asset compression as seen [in this commit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/8af94ed75505f0253823b9b2d44320fecea5b5fb).
|
|
|
|
## 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](6.6-to-6.7.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.
