# From 6.2 to 6.3

## Requires version: 6.1 or 6.2

### 0. Backup

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)

```bash
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 latest code

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-3-stable
```

### 3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)

```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
```

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

### 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.

```bash
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


# 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
```

### 5. Update config files

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

```
git diff 6-2-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example 6-3-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
```

* Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` same as https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/6-3-stable/config/gitlab.yml.example but with your settings.
* Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb` same as https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/6-3-stable/config/unicorn.rb.example but with your settings.
* Copy rack attack middleware config

### 6. Update Init script

```bash
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
```

### 7. Start application

    sudo service gitlab start
    sudo service nginx restart

### 8. 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 south? Revert to previous version (6.2)

### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
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)

### 2. Restore from the backup:

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