# From 8.16 to 8.17

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

```bash
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. 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
curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
echo '1014ee699071aa2ddd501907d18cbe15399c997d ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
cd ruby-2.3.3
./configure --disable-install-rdoc
make
sudo make install
```

Install Bundler:

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

### 4. Update Node

GitLab now runs [webpack](http://webpack.js.org) to compile frontend assets and
it has a minimum requirement of node v4.3.0.

You can check which version you are running with `node -v`. If you are running
62
a version older than `v4.3.0` you will need to update to a newer version.  You
63 64 65 66 67 68
can find instructions to install from community maintained packages or compile
from source at the nodejs.org website.

### 6. Install libs, migrations, etc.
96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111

```bash

117 118 119 120
```

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

### 7. Update gitlab-workhorse
122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132

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
```

133
### 8. Update gitlab-shell
134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141

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

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

142
### 9. Update configuration files
143 144 145

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

146
There might be new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201

```sh
cd /home/git/gitlab

git diff origin/8-16-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/8-17-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
cd /home/git/gitlab

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
cd /home/git/gitlab

# For HTTPS configurations
git diff origin/8-16-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/8-17-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl

# For HTTP configurations
git diff origin/8-16-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/8-17-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/8-17-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/8-17-stable/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb.sample#L13

#### Init script

202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211
There might be new configuration options available for [`gitlab.default.example`][gl-example].
You need to update this file if you want to [enable GitLab Pages][pages-admin].
View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `/etc/default/gitlab`:

```sh
cd /home/git/gitlab

git diff origin/8-16-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example origin/8-17-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example
```

212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225
Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
```

For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:

```bash
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```

226
### 10. Start application
227 228 229 230 231 232

```bash
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
```

233
### 11. Check application status
234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268

Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

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

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

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

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 (8.16)

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

Follow the [upgrade guide from 8.15 to 8.16](8.15-to-8.16.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

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.
