Multiple upgrades at once - how to check if GitLab has been upgraded correctly?

How to Use GitLab
2

Hi,

Yes, my post shows how many versions I went through when I was unsure of the upgrade path (60+ package upgrades from 12.9.3 to latest): Upgrade Problem - #7 by iwalker

So, in summary:

  1. Upgrade package.
  2. Check background migrations are zero.
  3. Do gitlab-ctl status to see all services are running.
  4. Click around the web interface to make sure it’s running. Maybe even do some git pull/push commands if you prefer.

then repeat for each upgrade. Now I basically regularly stay on top of my upgrades so that I don’t end up so far behind like last time.
