+# From 8.4 to 8.5
+
+### 1. Stop server
+
+    sudo service gitlab stop
+
+### 2. Backup
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+### 3. Get latest code
+
+```bash
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
+sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically
+```
+
+For GitLab Community Edition:
+
+```bash
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-5-stable
+```
+
+OR
+
+For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
+
+```bash
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-5-stable-ee
+```
+
+### 4. Update gitlab-shell
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v2.6.10
+```
+
+### 5. Update gitlab-workhorse
+
+Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. This requires
+[Go 1.5](https://golang.org/dl) which should already be on your system from
+GitLab 8.1.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 0.6.3
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 6. Install libs, migrations, etc.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
+
+# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
+
+# Run database migrations
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
+
+# Clean up assets and cache
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
+
+```
+
+### 7. Update configuration files
+
+#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
+
+There are new configuration options available for
+[`gitlab.yml`](config/gitlab.yml.example). View them with the command below and
+apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
+
+```sh
+git diff origin/8-4-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/8-5-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
+```
+
+#### Nginx configuration
+
+GitLab 8.3 introduced major changes in the NGINX configuration. Ensure you're
+still up-to-date with the latest changes:
+
+```sh
+# For HTTPS configurations
+git diff origin/8-4-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/8-5-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
+
+# For HTTP configurations
+git diff origin/8-4-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/8-5-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
+```
+
+If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated
+[Apache templates].  Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams
+behind Unix sockets you will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port.
+You can do this via [/etc/default/gitlab].
+
+[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/8-5-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L34
+
+### 8. Start application
+
+    sudo service gitlab start
+    sudo service nginx restart
+
+### 9. 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:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (8.4)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+
+Follow the [upgrade guide from 8.3 to 8.4](8.3-to-8.4.md), except for the
+database migration (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.
