Docker-gitlab: Upgrading to latest GitLab 10.5.1

Created on 28 Feb 2018 · 6Comments · Source: sameersbn/docker-gitlab

We are using version 8.16.6. It has been working well without issues. However, we would like to upgrade to latest version.

What are the caveats in this upgrade process? Do you recommend doing it this way?

GitLab doesn't recommend to upgrade through several major versions. You need to upgrade to latest 8.x.x, then upgrade to latest 9.x.x, and only then to 10.5.1

And as always...

!!!!!!CREATE BACKUPS!!!!!!!

Hmm, I would be very careful. Have you tried to create a Test environment, restore your backups to it. Then stop the gitlab container and launch the same gitlab image with the tag you would like to upgrade to?

Actually, there should't be any problems, because of the backups, you should be able to always roll back.. But anyway, better be sure, then fixing your whole system afterwards
