+# From 9.1 to 9.2
+
+Make sure you view this update guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would
+like to install. In most cases this should be the highest numbered production
+tag (without rc in it). You can select the tag in the version dropdown at the
+top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).
+
+If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the
+[GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/archives.html) for installation
+guide links by version.
+
+### 1. Stop server
+
+```bash
+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. Update Ruby
+
+NOTE: GitLab 9.0 and higher only support Ruby 2.3.x and dropped support for Ruby 2.1.x. Be
+sure to upgrade your interpreter if necessary.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `ruby -v`.
+
+Download and compile Ruby:
+
+```bash
+mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
+curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.3/ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
+echo '1014ee699071aa2ddd501907d18cbe15399c997d ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz' | shasum -c - && tar xzf ruby-2.3.3.tar.gz
+cd ruby-2.3.3
+./configure --disable-install-rdoc
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+Install Bundler:
+
+```bash
+sudo gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc
+```
+
+### 4. Update Node
+
+GitLab now runs [webpack](http://webpack.js.org) to compile frontend assets and
+it has a minimum requirement of node v4.3.0.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `node -v`. If you are running
+a version older than `v4.3.0` 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.
+
+<https://nodejs.org/en/download/>
+
+
+Since 8.17, GitLab requires the use of yarn `>= v0.17.0` to manage
+JavaScript dependencies.
+
+```bash
+curl --location https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -
+```
+
+More information can be found on the [yarn website](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install).
+
+### 5. Get latest code
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+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
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 9-2-stable
+```
+
+OR
+
+For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 9-2-stable-ee
+```
+
+### 6. Update gitlab-shell
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H bin/compile
+```
+
+### 7. Update gitlab-workhorse
+
+Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. This requires
+[Go 1.5](https://golang.org/dl) which should already be on your system from
+GitLab 8.1. GitLab-Workhorse uses [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/).
+If you are not using Linux you may have to run `gmake` instead of
+`make` below.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_WORKHORSE_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 8. Update configuration files
+
+#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
+
+There might be configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+git diff origin/9-1-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/9-2-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
+```
+
+#### Nginx configuration
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+# For HTTPS configurations
+git diff origin/9-1-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/9-2-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
+
+# For HTTP configurations
+git diff origin/9-1-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/9-2-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
+```
+
+If you are using Strict-Transport-Security in your installation to continue using it you must enable it in your Nginx
+configuration as GitLab application no longer handles setting it.
+
+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/9-2-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L38
+
+#### SMTP configuration
+
+If you're installing from source and use SMTP to deliver mail, you will need to add the following line
+to config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb:
+
+```ruby
+ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
+```
+
+See [smtp_settings.rb.sample] as an example.
+
+[smtp_settings.rb.sample]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/9-1-stable/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb.sample#L13
+
+#### Init script
+
+There might be new configuration options available for [`gitlab.default.example`][gl-example]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `/etc/default/gitlab`:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+git diff origin/9-1-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example origin/9-2-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example
+```
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
+```
+
+For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+### 9. 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
+
+# Optional: clean up old gems
+sudo -u git -H bundle clean
+
+# Run database migrations
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
+
+# Update node dependencies and recompile assets
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake yarn:install gitlab:assets:clean gitlab:assets:compile RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production
+
+# Clean up cache
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+**MySQL installations**: Run through the `MySQL strings limits` and `Tables and data conversion to utf8mb4` [tasks](../install/database_mysql.md).
+
+### 10. Optional: install Gitaly
+
+Gitaly is still an optional component of GitLab. If you want to save time
+during your 9.2 upgrade **you can skip this step**.
+
+If you have not yet set up Gitaly then follow [Gitaly section of the installation
+guide](../install/installation.md#install-gitaly).
+
+#### Compile Gitaly
+
+```shell
+cd /home/git/gitaly
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITALY_SERVER_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 11. Start application
+
+```bash
+sudo service gitlab start
+sudo service nginx restart
+```
+
+### 12. Check application status
+
+Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+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 (9.1)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+
+Follow the [upgrade guide from 9.0 to 9.1](9.0-to-9.1.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.
