From 4d101979150e16c0cc8ac5e0380e9ef407542741 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yorick Peterse Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2019 14:24:31 +0100 Subject: Refactor the upgrading from source docs Instead of requiring one separate document for every version (which is created by release managers), we now use a single document for both Community Edition and Enterprise Edition. This allows developers to add guidelines right away, instead of release managers having to determine what to add. Version specific upgrading instructions are placed in a separate section. This prevents instructions from lingering around for many versions should a developer forget to remove them. This also ensures that all instructions are kept in a single place, instead of being spread across different documents. A minor downside is that CE and EE guidelines now live in the same document, which could cause merge conflicts. Since we are working towards a single codebase, this should only be an issue until we merge the codebases together; something we expect to do in the coming months. This commit also removes all old upgrading instructions, but these can still be accessed using Git branch specific URLs (included in the updating README). --- doc/update/upgrading_from_source.md | 390 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 390 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/update/upgrading_from_source.md (limited to 'doc/update/upgrading_from_source.md') diff --git a/doc/update/upgrading_from_source.md b/doc/update/upgrading_from_source.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..20d8ebecc0a --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/update/upgrading_from_source.md @@ -0,0 +1,390 @@ +--- +comments: false +--- + +# Upgrading Community Edition and Enterprise Edition from source + +Make sure you view this update guide from the branch (version) of GitLab you +would like to install (e.g., `11.8`.

Version +specific guidelines (should there be any) are covered separately. + +### 1. Stop server + +```bash +sudo service gitlab stop +``` + +### 2. Backup + +NOTE: If you installed GitLab from source, make sure `rsync` is installed. + +```bash +cd /home/git/gitlab + +sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production +``` + +### 3. Update Ruby + +NOTE: Beginning in GitLab 11.0, we only support Ruby 2.4 or higher, and dropped +support for Ruby 2.3. Be sure to upgrade if necessary. + +You can check which version you are running with `ruby -v`. + +Download Ruby and compile it: + +```bash +mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby +curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.5/ruby-2.5.3.tar.gz +echo 'f919a9fbcdb7abecd887157b49833663c5c15fda ruby-2.5.3.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.5.3.tar.gz +cd ruby-2.5.3 + +./configure --disable-install-rdoc +make +sudo make install +``` + +Install Bundler: + +```bash +sudo gem install bundler --no-document --version '< 2' +``` + +### 4. Update Node + +NOTE: Beginning in GitLab 11.8, we only support node 8 or higher, and dropped +support for node 6. Be sure to upgrade if necessary. + +GitLab utilizes [webpack](http://webpack.js.org) to compile frontend assets. +This requires a minimum version of node v8.10.0. + +You can check which version you are running with `node -v`. If you are running +a version older than `v8.10.0` you will need to update to a newer version. You +can find instructions to install from community maintained packages or compile +from source at the nodejs.org website. + + + +GitLab also requires the use of yarn `>= v1.10.0` to manage JavaScript +dependencies. + +```bash +curl --silent --show-error https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add - +echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list +sudo apt-get update +sudo apt-get install yarn +``` + +More information can be found on the [yarn website](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install). + +### 5. Update Go + +NOTE: GitLab 11.4 and higher only supports Go 1.10.x and newer, and dropped support for Go +1.9.x. Be sure to upgrade your installation if necessary. + +You can check which version you are running with `go version`. + +Download and install Go: + +```bash +# Remove former Go installation folder +sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go + +curl --remote-name --progress https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz +echo 'a035d9beda8341b645d3f45a1b620cf2d8fb0c5eb409be36b389c0fd384ecc3a go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz' | shasum -a256 -c - && \ + sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz +sudo ln -sf /usr/local/go/bin/{go,godoc,gofmt} /usr/local/bin/ +rm go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz +``` + +### 6.

Revert to previous version + +### 1. Revert the code to the previous version + +To revert to a previous version, you'll need to following the upgrading guides +for the previous version. If you upgraded to 11.8 and want to revert back to +11.7, you'll need to follow the guides for upgrading from 11.6 to 11.7. You can +use the version dropdown at the top of the page to select the right version. + +When reverting, you should _not_ follow the database migration guides, as 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. + +[yaml]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/config/gitlab.yml.example +[gl-example]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example +[smtp_settings.rb.sample]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb.sample#L13 +[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/master/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L38 -- cgit v1.2.1
