Would also help, if you explained exactly what you did to upgrade your system. What procedure did you follow? What versions did you upgrade to between 9.1.4 and 13.10.0? Or did you upgrade directly to latest release (which is a big mistake if you did). Did you wait for background migrations to finish before attempting subsequent upgrades.

Posting what you did above, doesn’t help us whatsoever in resolving your problem. There is missing a whole lot of extra info that could help.

If you have upgraded directly from 9.1.4 to 13.10.0 you can look at your backups and do a restore. After that please look at official Upgrade guide

Well the attempt was a sequential upgrade but avoided taking backup during the updates.

The issue could be the sequence/order followed at the time of updating the gitlab CE server.

So restored the snapshot to the last working state of gitlab CE server running 9.1.4 and later did the patching as below:

  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-9.2.6-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-9.5.10-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-10.8.7-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-11.11.8-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-12.0.12-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-12.1.17-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-12.2.5-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-12.10.14-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-13.0.14-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-13.1.11-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce-13.5.4-ce.0.el7
  • sudo yum install gitlab-ce

Thanks all for your support.
