It's useful to make a backup just in case things go south: (With MySQL, this may require granting "LOCK TABLES" privileges to the GitLab user on the database version)
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
sudo service gitlab stop
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout 5-4-stable
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.5.0
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
#PostgreSQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
- Make
/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
same as https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/5-4-stable/config/gitlab.yml.example but with your settings. - Make
/home/git/gitlab/config/puma.rb
same as https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/5-4-stable/config/puma.rb.example but with your settings.
sudo rm /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo curl --output /etc/init.d/gitlab https://raw.github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/5-4-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
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 complete!
Follow the upgrade guide from 5.2 to 5.3
, except for the database migration
(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
