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
