How to Use GitLab Upgrade
1

Hello, i always kept Gitlab uptodate using the repository under
deb https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/debian/ jessie main

which worked without issues.

Unfortunately the last two updates where not successful and it showed the following error:

``

So i had to revert back to a Backup. Since the last update also did not work, i would like to know what is going wrong.

The Repository directory is accesible without issues.

The repository folder is a regular EXT4 Filesystem which is shared using NFS for a bugtracker / Tickets system to access in the local network. So i don’t think that is the issue, since it worked before.

Thanks in advance for any hint of the issue.

That looks like something is amiss with your /mnt/data/git-data/repositories (presumably where you’ve configured your repositories to live); the test is confirming it (a) is a directory; (b) is owned by user git and has mode 2770 (rwxrws---).

Thanks, so that means my access rights to the repositories are wrong?

Its true that the user “git” owns the directories and files, but the access rights are drwxrwxrwx for git-data/repositories

So i would think that everything is allowed to access it. And since it works with an older version, either something changed in gitlab that it is now no longer accepted or something different is wrong.

I dare say access rights of a+rwx is almost always wrong. You probably don’t want everyone to be able to fiddle with your repositories, only people who have authenticated through GitLab.

On my omnibus install, ti’s 2770 as the script expects. I haven’t had to ever manually change that.

Curious, is your /mnt/data something that doesn’t support Unix permissions? Not sure why else it’d get set to 777.
