## 0. Backup
7

8
It's useful to make a backup just in case things go south: (With MySQL, this may require granting "LOCK TABLES" privileges to the GitLab user on the database version)
9 10 11 12 13 14

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

15
## 1. Stop server
16 17 18

    sudo service gitlab stop

19
## 2. Get latest code
20 21 22

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
23
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
24
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-3-stable
25
# For GitLab Enterprise Edition: sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-3-stable-ee
26 27
```

28
## 3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)
29 30 31 32 33 34 35

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.7.9 # Addresses multiple critical security vulnerabilities
```

36
The gitlab-shell config changed recently, so check for config file changes and make `/home/git/gitlab-shell/config.yml` the same as <https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell/blob/master/config.yml.example>
37

38
## 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.
39 40 41 42

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

43 44 45 46 47
# The Modernizr gem was yanked from RubyGems. It is required for GitLab >= 2.8.0
# Edit `Gemfile` and change `gem "modernizr", "2.5.3"` to
# `gem "modernizr-rails", "2.7.1"``
sudo -u git -H vim Gemfile

48
# MySQL
49 50 51 52 53

# Run a bundle install without deployment to generate the new Gemfile
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --no-deployment

# Install libs (with deployment this time)
54 55
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment

# Run a bundle install without deployment to generate the new Gemfile
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --no-deployment

# Install libs (with deployment this time)
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
63

64
# Both MySQL and PostgreSQL
65
# Run database migrations
66
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
67 68 69

# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
70 71
```

72
## 5. Update config files
73

74
TIP: to see what changed in gitlab.yml.example in this release use next command:
75 76

```
Sairam Kunala committed
77
git diff 6-2-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example 6-3-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
78 79
```

80 81
- Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` same as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/6-3-stable/config/gitlab.yml.example but with your settings.
- Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb` same as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/6-3-stable/config/unicorn.rb.example but with your settings.

```bash
# Copy rack attack middleware config
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H cp config/initializers/rack_attack.rb.example config/initializers/rack_attack.rb
```
88

89
## 6. Update Init script
90 91

```bash
92
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
93 94
```

95
## 7. Start application
96 97 98 99

    sudo service gitlab start
    sudo service nginx restart

100
## 8. Check application status
101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114

Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:

    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 with:

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

If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade complete!

## Things went south? Revert to previous version (6.2)

### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
115

116
Follow the [upgrade guide from 6.1 to 6.2](6.1-to-6.2.md), except for the database migration (the backup is already migrated to the previous version).
117 118 119 120 121 122 123

### 2. Restore from the backup:

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