# From 8.15 to 8.16

Make sure you view this update guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would
like to install. In most cases this should be the highest numbered production
tag (without rc in it). You can select the tag in the version dropdown at the
top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).

If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the
[GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/archives.html) for installation
guide links by version.

### 1. Stop server

14 15 16
```bash
sudo service gitlab stop
```
17 18 19 20 21

### 2. Backup

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
22

23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
```

### 3. Update Ruby

We will continue supporting Ruby < 2.3 for the time being but we recommend you
upgrade to Ruby 2.3 if you're running a source installation, as this is the same
version that ships with our Omnibus package.

You can check which version you are running with `ruby -v`.

Download and compile Ruby:

```bash
mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
38
curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
39
echo '1014ee699071aa2ddd501907d18cbe15399c997d ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
40
cd ruby-2.3.3
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54
./configure --disable-install-rdoc
make
sudo make install
```

Install Bundler:

```bash
sudo gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
```

### 4. Get latest code

```bash
55 56
cd /home/git/gitlab

57 58 59 60 61 62 63
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
64 65
cd /home/git/gitlab

66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73
sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-16-stable
```

OR

For GitLab Enterprise Edition:

```bash
74
cd /home/git/gitlab
75

76
sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-16-stable-ee
77 78
```

### 5. Install libs, migrations, etc.
80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

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

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

# Optional: clean up old gems
sudo -u git -H bundle clean

# 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
```

100 101
**MySQL installations**: Run through the `MySQL strings limits` and `Tables and data conversion to utf8mb4` [tasks](../install/database_mysql.md).

102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122
### 6. Update gitlab-workhorse

Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. This requires
[Go 1.5](https://golang.org/dl) which should already be on your system from
GitLab 8.1.

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake "gitlab:workhorse:install[/home/git/gitlab-workhorse]" RAILS_ENV=production
```

### 7. Update gitlab-shell

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell

sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
sudo -u git -H git checkout v4.1.1
```

123 124 125 126
### 8. Update configuration files

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

127
There are new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
128 129

```sh
130 131
cd /home/git/gitlab

132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140
git diff origin/8-15-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/8-16-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
```

#### Git configuration

Configure Git to generate packfile bitmaps (introduced in Git 2.0) on
the GitLab server during `git gc`.

```sh
141 142
cd /home/git/gitlab

143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150
sudo -u git -H git config --global repack.writeBitmaps true
```

#### Nginx configuration

Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:

```sh
151 152
cd /home/git/gitlab

153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184
# For HTTPS configurations
git diff origin/8-15-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/8-16-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl

# For HTTP configurations
git diff origin/8-15-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/8-16-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
```

If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates].
Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you
will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port. You can do this
via [/etc/default/gitlab].

[Apache templates]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache
[/etc/default/gitlab]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-16-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L38

#### SMTP configuration

If you're installing from source and use SMTP to deliver mail, you will need to add the following line
to config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb:

```ruby
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
```

See [smtp_settings.rb.sample] as an example.

[smtp_settings.rb.sample]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-16-stable/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb.sample#L13

#### Init script

Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:

185 186 187 188 189
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
```
190 191 192

For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:

193 194 195
```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
196 197 198

### 9. Start application

199 200 201 202
```bash
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
```
203 204 205 206 207

### 10. Check application status

Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:

208 209 210 211 212
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
```
213 214 215

To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check:

216 217 218 219 220
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
```
221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234

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

## Things went south? Revert to previous version (8.15)

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

Follow the [upgrade guide from 8.14 to 8.15](8.14-to-8.15.md), except for the
database migration (the backup is already migrated to the previous version).

### 2. Restore from the backup

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
235

236 237 238 239
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.
