### 0. Double-check your Git version

**This notice applies only to /usr/local/bin/git**

If you compiled Git from source on your GitLab server then please double-check
that you are using a version that protects against CVE-2014-9390. For six
months after this vulnerability became known the GitLab installation guide
still contained instructions that would install the outdated, 'vulnerable' Git
version 2.1.2.

13
Run the following command to get your current Git version:
14

15
```sh
16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65
/usr/local/bin/git --version
```

If you see 'No such file or directory' then you did not install Git according
to the outdated instructions from the GitLab installation guide and you can go
to the next step 'Stop server' below.

If you see a version string then it should be v1.8.5.6, v1.9.5, v2.0.5, v2.1.4,
v2.2.1 or newer. You can use the [instructions in the GitLab source
installation
guide](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/installation.md#1-packages-dependencies)
to install a newer version of Git.

### 1. Stop server

    sudo service gitlab stop

### 2. Backup

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

### 3. Get latest code

```bash
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically
```

For GitLab Community Edition:

```bash
sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-0-stable
```

OR

For GitLab Enterprise Edition:

```bash
sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-0-stable-ee
```

### 4. Update gitlab-shell

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
66
sudo -u git -H git checkout v2.6.5
67 68 69 70
```

### 5. Install gitlab-git-http-server

71
First we download Go 1.5 and install it into `/usr/local/go`:
72

73 74 75 76 77 78 79
```bash
curl -O --progress https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo '5817fa4b2252afdb02e11e8b9dc1d9173ef3bd5a  go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && \
  sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/go/bin/{go,godoc,gofmt} /usr/local/bin/
rm go1.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
80

81
Now we download `gitlab-git-http-server` and install it in `/home/git/gitlab-git-http-server`:
82

83 84 85 86
```bash
cd /home/git
sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-git-http-server.git
cd gitlab-git-http-server
87
sudo -u git -H git checkout 0.2.14
88 89
sudo -u git -H make
```
90

91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103
Make sure your unicorn.rb file contains a 'listen' line for
'127.0.0.1:8080' and that this line is not commented out.

```
cd /home/git/gitlab
grep ^listen config/unicorn.rb

# If there is no 'listen' line for 127.0.0.1:8080, add it:
sudo -u git tee -a config/unicorn.rb <<EOF
listen "127.0.0.1:8080", :tcp_nopush => true
EOF
```

104
If your Git repositories are in a directory other than `/home/git/repositories`,
105
you need to tell `gitlab-git-http-server` about it via `/etc/default/gitlab`.
106
See `lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example` for the options.
107

108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115
### 6. Copy secrets

The `secrets.yml` file is used to store keys to encrypt sessions and encrypt secure variables.
When you run migrations make sure to store it someplace safe.
Don't store it in the same place as your database backups,
otherwise your secrets are exposed if one of your backups is compromised.

cd /home/git/gitlab
117 118
sudo -u git -H cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml
sudo -u git -H chmod 0600 config/secrets.yml
119
```
120 121

### 7. Install libs, migrations, etc.
122 123 124 125

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

126 127
# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
128

129 130
# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141

# 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
```

142
### 8. Update config files
143 144 145

#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`

146
There are new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`](config/gitlab.yml.example). View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
147

148
```sh
149
git diff origin/7-14-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/8-0-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
150
```
151

152 153
The new options include configuration of GitLab CI that are now being part of GitLab CE and EE.

154
#### New Nginx configuration
155

156 157 158
Because of the new `gitlab-git-http-server` you need to update your Nginx
configuration.  If you skip this step 'git clone' and 'git push' over HTTP(S)
will stop working.
159

160 161 162 163 164
View changes between the previous recommended Nginx configuration and the
current one:

```sh
# For HTTPS configurations
165
git diff origin/7-14-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/8-0-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
166 167 168

# For HTTP configurations
git diff origin/7-14-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/8-0-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
169 170
```

171
If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache).
172
Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you will need to let gitlab-git-http-server listen on a TCP port. You can do this via [/etc/default/gitlab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-0-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L34).
173

174 175 176
### 9. Migrate GitLab CI to GitLab CE/EE

Now, GitLab CE and EE has CI integrated. However, migrations don't happen automatically and you need to do it manually.
177
Please follow the following guide [to migrate](../migrate_ci_to_ce/README.md) your GitLab CI instance to GitLab CE/EE.
178

179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188
### 10. Use Redis v2.4.0+

Previous versions of GitLab allowed Redis versions >= 2.0 to be used, but
Sidekiq jobs could fail due to lack of support for the SREM command. GitLab
8.0 now checks that Redis >= 2.4.0 is used. You can check your Redis version
with the following command:

    redis-cli info | grep redis_version

### 11. Start application
189 190 191 192

    sudo service gitlab start
    sudo service nginx restart

193
### 12. Check application status
194 195 196 197 198

Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:

    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production

199
To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check:
200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207

    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production

If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!

## Things went south? Revert to previous version (7.14)

### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
208

209 210 211
Follow the [upgrade guide from 7.13 to 7.14](7.13-to-7.14.md), except for the database migration
(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)

212
### 2. Restore from the backup
213 214 215 216 217

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
```
218 219

If you have more than one backup `*.tar` file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
220 221 222 223 224 225

## Troubleshooting

### "You appear to have cloned an empty repository."

If you see this message when attempting to clone a repository hosted by GitLab,
226 227 228 229
this is likely due to an outdated Nginx or Apache configuration, or a missing or
misconfigured `gitlab-git-http-server` instance. Double-check that you correctly
completed [Step 5](#5-install-gitlab-git-http-server) to install the daemon and
[Step 8](#new-nginx-configuration) to reconfigure Nginx.
