From Community Edition 7.9 to Enterprise Edition 7.9
This guide assumes you have a correctly configured and tested installation of GitLab Community Edition 7.9. If you run into any trouble or if you have any questions please contact us at support@gitlab.com.
0. Backup
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)
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
1. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
2. Get the EE code
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git remote add ee https://gitlab.com/subscribers/gitlab-ee.git
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
sudo -u git -H git checkout 7-9-stable-ee
3. Update config files
- Make
/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
same as /home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml.example but with your settings.
4. Install libs, migrations, etc.
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
#PostgreSQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
5. Start application
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
6. Check application status
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 wrong? Revert to previous version (Community Edition 7.9)
1. Revert the code to the previous version
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git checkout 7-9-stable
2. Restore from the backup:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
