From 9.4 to 9.5
Make sure you view this update guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would like to install. In most cases this should be the highest numbered production tag (without rc in it). You can select the tag in the version dropdown at the top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).
If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the GitLab Blog for installation guide links by version.
1. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
2. Backup
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
3. Update Ruby
NOTE: GitLab 9.0 and higher only support Ruby 2.3.x and dropped support for Ruby 2.1.x. Be sure to upgrade your interpreter if necessary.
You can check which version you are running with ruby -v.
Download and compile Ruby:
mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
echo '1014ee699071aa2ddd501907d18cbe15399c997d ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
cd ruby-2.3.3
./configure --disable-install-rdoc
make
sudo make install
Install Bundler:
sudo gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
4. Update Node
GitLab now runs webpack to compile frontend assets and it has a minimum requirement of node v4.3.0.
You can check which version you are running with node -v. If you are running
a version older than v4.3.0 you will need to update to a newer version. You
can find instructions to install from community maintained packages or compile
from source at the nodejs.org website.
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Since 8.17, GitLab requires the use of yarn >= v0.17.0 to manage
JavaScript dependencies.
curl --silent --show-error https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yarn
More information can be found on the yarn website.
5. Update Go
NOTE: GitLab 9.2 and higher only supports Go 1.8.3 and dropped support for Go 1.5.x through 1.7.x. Be sure to upgrade your installation if necessary.
You can check which version you are running with go version.
Download and install Go:
# Remove former Go installation folder
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
curl --remote-name --progress https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo '1862f4c3d3907e59b04a757cfda0ea7aa9ef39274af99a784f5be843c80c6772 go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz' | shasum -a256 -c - && \
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/go/bin/{go,godoc,gofmt} /usr/local/bin/
rm go1.8.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
6. Get latest code
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically
sudo -u git -H git checkout -- locale
For GitLab Community Edition:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git checkout 9-5-stable
OR
For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git checkout 9-5-stable-ee
7. Update gitlab-shell
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION)
sudo -u git -H bin/compile
8. Update gitlab-workhorse
Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. GitLab-Workhorse uses
GNU Make.
If you are not using Linux you may have to run gmake instead of
make below.
cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_WORKHORSE_VERSION)
sudo -u git -H make
9. Update Gitaly
New Gitaly configuration options required
In order to function Gitaly needs some additional configuration information. Below we assume you installed Gitaly in /home/git/gitaly and GitLab Shell in `/home/git/gitlab-shell'.
echo '
[gitaly-ruby]
dir = "/home/git/gitaly/ruby"
[gitlab-shell]
dir = "/home/git/gitlab-shell"
' | sudo -u git tee -a /home/git/gitaly/config.toml
Check Gitaly configuration
Due to a bug in the rake gitlab:gitaly:install script your Gitaly
configuration file may contain syntax errors. The block name
[[storages]], which may occur more than once in your config.toml
file, should be [[storage]] instead.
sudo -u git -H sed -i.pre-9.5 's/\[\[storages\]\]/[[storage]]/' /home/git/gitaly/config.toml
Compile Gitaly
cd /home/git/gitaly
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITALY_SERVER_VERSION)
sudo -u git -H make
10. Update MySQL permissions
If you are using MySQL you need to grant the GitLab user the necessary permissions on the database:
mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT TRIGGER ON \`gitlabhq_production\`.* TO 'git'@'localhost';"
If you use MySQL with replication, or just have MySQL configured with binary logging, you will need to also run the following on all of your MySQL servers:
mysql -u root -p -e "SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;"
You can make this setting permanent by adding it to your my.cnf:
log_bin_trust_function_creators=1
11. Update configuration files
New configuration options for gitlab.yml
There might be configuration options available for gitlab.yml. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current gitlab.yml:
cd /home/git/gitlab
git diff origin/9-4-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/9-5-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
Nginx configuration
Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:
cd /home/git/gitlab
# For HTTPS configurations
git diff origin/9-4-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/9-5-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
# For HTTP configurations
git diff origin/9-4-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/9-5-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
If you are using Strict-Transport-Security in your installation to continue using it you must enable it in your Nginx configuration as GitLab application no longer handles setting it.
If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated Apache templates. Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port. You can do this via /etc/default/gitlab.
SMTP configuration
If you're installing from source and use SMTP to deliver mail, you will need to add the following line to config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb:
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
See smtp_settings.rb.sample as an example.
Init script
There might be new configuration options available for gitlab.default.example. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current /etc/default/gitlab:
cd /home/git/gitlab
git diff origin/9-4-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example origin/9-5-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example
Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
12. Install libs, migrations, etc.
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
# Optional: clean up old gems
sudo -u git -H bundle clean
# Run database migrations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
# Compile GetText PO files
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gettext:compile RAILS_ENV=production
# Update node dependencies and recompile assets
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake yarn:install gitlab:assets:clean gitlab:assets:compile RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production
# Clean up cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
MySQL installations: Run through the MySQL strings limits and Tables and data conversion to utf8mb4 tasks.
13. Start application
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
14. Check application status
Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
cd /home/git/gitlab
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:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!
Things went south? Revert to previous version (9.4)
1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the upgrade guide from 9.3 to 9.4, 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.
