### 0. Backup

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)

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

### 1. Stop server

    sudo service gitlab stop

dosire committed
20
### 2. Get latest code for the stable branch
21 22 23

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
24
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
25
sudo -u git -H git checkout -- Gemfile.lock db/schema.rb
26
sudo -u git -H git checkout LATEST_TAG -b LATEST_TAG
27
```
28 29 30
Replace `LATEST_TAG` with the latest GitLab tag you want to update to, for example `v8.0.3`.  
Use `git tag -l 'v*.[0-9]' --sort='v:refname'` to see a list of all tags.  
Make sure to update patch versions only (check your current version with `cat VERSION`)

### 3. Update gitlab-shell to the corresponding version
33 34 35 36

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
37
sudo -u git -H git checkout v`cat /home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION` -b v`cat /home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION`
38 39 40
```

### 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.
41 42 43 44 45 46 47

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

#PostgreSQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment

48 49 50
# MySQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment

51
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
52
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
53 54
```

55
### 5. Start application
56 57 58 59

    sudo service gitlab start
    sudo service nginx restart

60
### 6. Check application status
61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70

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!
