13 -If you are using a MySQL database you have to configure a [non-packaged MySQL database](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#using-a-non-packaged-database-management-server) or [convert to PostgreSQL](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/mysql_to_postgresql.md) before the backup.

  110 +Upgrade by [creating a backup from the non-Omnibus install](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/raketasks/backup_restore.md#create-a-backup-of-the-gitlab-system) and [restoring this in the Omnibus installation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#restoring-an-application-backup).
  111 +Please ensure you are using exactly equal versions of GitLab (for example 6.7.3) when you do this.
  112 +You might have to upgrade your non-Omnibus installation before creating the backup to achieve this.
  113 +
  114 +### Upgrading from non-Omnibus MySQL to an Omnibus installation (version 6.8+)
  115 +Unlike the previous chapter, the non-Omnibus installation is using MySQL while the Omnibus installation is using PostgreSQL.
  116 +
  117 +Option #1: Omnibus can be configured to use an external [non-packaged MySQL database](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#using-a-non-packaged-database-management-server).
  118 +
  119 +Option #2: Convert to PostgreSQL and use the built-in server as the instructions below.
  120 +
  121 +* [create a backup of the non-Omnibus MySQL installation.](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/raketasks/backup_restore.md#create-a-backup-of-the-gitlab-system)
  122 +* unpack the newly created backup.
  123 +
  124 +```shell
  125 +mkdir unpacked_backup
  126 +tar -C unpacked_backup -xvf <TIMESTAMP>_gitlab_backup.tar
  127 +```
  128 +
  129 +* [export and convert the existing MySQL database](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/mysql_to_postgresql.md) (without importing to PostgreSQL).
  130 +
  131 +```shell
  132 +mysqldump --compatible=postgresql --default-character-set=utf8 -r gitlab.mysql -u root gitlabhq_production
  133 +python db_converter.py gitlab.mysql gitlab.psql
  134 +
  135 +```
  136 +
  137 +* replace `unpacked_backup/db/database.sql` with the converted `gitlab.psql`
  138 +
  139 +```shell
  140 +cp gitlab.pSql unpacked_backup/db/database.sql
  141 +```
  142 +
  143 +* repack the modified backup.
  144 +
  145 +```shell
  146 +cd unpacked_backup
  147 +tar cvf ../converted_gitlab_backup.tar *
  148 +```
  149 +
  150 +* [restoring this in the Omnibus installation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/README.md#restoring-an-application-backup)
  151 +* Enjoy!
