From 6.6 to 6.7

0. Backup

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

1. Stop server

sudo service gitlab stop

2. Get latest code

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all

For Gitlab Community Edition:

sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-7-stable

OR

For GitLab Enterprise Edition:

sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-7-stable-ee

3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)

cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.9.1

4. Install libs, migrations, etc.

cd /home/git/gitlab

# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment

# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment


# Run database migrations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production

# Update init.d script
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab

# Update the logrotate configuration (keep logs for 90 days instead of 52 weeks)
sudo cp lib/support/logrotate/gitlab /etc/logrotate.d/gitlab

# Compress existing .log.1 files because we turned off delaycompress in logrotate
sudo -u git -H gzip /home/git/gitlab/log/*.log.1
sudo -u git -H gzip /home/git/gitlab-shell/gitlab-shell.log.1

# Close access to gitlab-satellites for others
sudo chmod u+rwx,g=rx,o-rwx /home/git/gitlab-satellites

5. Start application

sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart

6. 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 (6.6)

1. Revert the code to the previous version

Follow the <code>upgrade guide from 6.5 to 6.6</code>, 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.
