I am using GitLab Enterprise Edition v17.1.8-ee and i want upgrade it to latest stable version ( 18.x.x-ee) . I am using dockercompose for gitlab . Whenever i tries to upgrade its giving version issues .
I have no experience with running GitLab in docker.
You really should be telling us what you try and what the output is!
As your saying it gives version issues, I’m guessing you need to go through certain versions to get the needed database migrations. But without knowledge of what you’re doing, it’s impossible to know if that is the problem. The “Upgrade Path” tool, does show some versions on the path.
It’s probably a good idea to read Upgrading GitLab | GitLab Docs (which also has a link to the “Upgrade Path” tool).

I do have Docker Compose based upgrade experience and encountered no issues upgrading but should add I upgrade with just about every patch release 
If you don’t want to do that, check which releases between 17.1.8 and 18.2.1 (came out today 
) you need in between with the Upgrade Path tool that @grove mentioned.
