[RESOLVED] Upgrading from 7.0 on Amazon Linux

Hi everyone!

I’ve been asked to migrate an old instance of gitlab from version 7.0 but I’m not clear on what the steps are.
I’ve seen the guide but it refers to gitlab-ce. On the machine I’m working on I can only see gitlab.

Here’s the yum info gitlab result:

[admin@ip-10-82-183-153 ~]$ yum info gitlab.x86_64
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
Installed Packages
Name        : gitlab
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 7.0.0_omnibus
Release     : 1.el6
Size        : 741 M
Repo        : installed
Summary     : The full stack of gitlab
URL         : http://www.gitlab.com/
License     : unknown
Description : The full stack of gitlab

I think it has been installed via a .rpm file. I’ve added the gitlab repo, and I can find the new package:

$ yum search gitlab
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
=========================================================================================== N/S matched: gitlab ===========================================================================================
gitlab.x86_64 : The full stack of gitlab
gitlab-ce.x86_64 : GitLab Community Edition (including NGINX, Postgres, Redis)

Can I install the new one directly or is there any step I should follow?

Resolved installing gitlab-ce at version 7.14 and then 8 and finally latest :slight_smile:
