Updating GitLab via omnibus-gitlab

Updating from GitLab 6.6.x to 6.7.x

First, download the latest CE or EE (subscribers only) package to your GitLab server.

# Stop unicorn and sidekiq so we can do database migrations
sudo gitlab-ctl stop unicorn
sudo gitlab-ctl stop sidekiq

# Create a database backup in case the upgrade fails
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create

# Install the latest package
# Ubuntu:
sudo dpkg -i gitlab_6.7.y-omnibus.xxx.deb
# CentOS:
sudo rpm -Uvh gitlab-6.7.y_xxx.rpm

# Reconfigure GitLab (includes database migrations)
sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

# Start unicorn and sidekiq
sudo gitlab-ctl start

Done!

Reverting to GitLab 6.6.x

First download a GitLab 6.6.x CE or EE (subscribers only) package.

sudo dpkg -r gitlab
sudo dpkg -i gitlab-6.6.x-yyy.deb

# CentOS:
sudo rpm -e gitlab
sudo rpm -ivh gitlab-6.6.x-yyy.rpm

# Prepare GitLab for receiving the backup restore

# Due to a backup restore bug in GitLab 6.6, it is needed to drop the database
# _before_ running `gitlab-ctl reconfigure`.
sudo -u gitlab-psql /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/dropdb gitlabhq_production

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

# Restore your backup
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:restore BACKUP=12345 # where 12345 is your backup timestamp
