## 0. Backup
11

12
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)
13 14 15 16 17 18

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

19
## 1. Stop server
20 21 22

    sudo service gitlab stop

23
## 2. Get latest code
24 25 26

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
27
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
28
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-3-stable
29
# For GitLab Enterprise Edition: sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-3-stable-ee
30 31
```

32
## 3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)
33 34 35 36 37 38 39

```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
```

40
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>
41

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

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

47 48 49 50 51
# 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

52
# MySQL
53 54 55 56 57

# 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)
58 59
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment

62 63 64 65 66
# 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
67

68
# Both MySQL and PostgreSQL
69
# Run database migrations
70
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
71 72 73

# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
74 75
```

76
## 5. Update config files
77

78
TIP: to see what changed in gitlab.yml.example in this release use next command:
79 80

```
Sairam Kunala committed
81
git diff 6-2-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example 6-3-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
82 83
```

84 85
- 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
```
92

93
## 6. Update Init script
94 95

```bash
96
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
97 98
```

99
## 7. Start application
100 101 102 103

    sudo service gitlab start
    sudo service nginx restart

104
## 8. Check application status
105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118

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
119

120
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).
121 122 123 124 125 126 127

### 2. Restore from the backup:

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