I have gitlab installed on Ubuntu 18.04.4.
I have been keeping it up to date using apt. When I tried to run an upgrade this morning it wanted to install version 13, but refused because I was not at the latest patch version of 12.
I upgraded to the latest patch as follows: apt-get install gitlab-ee=12.10.6-ee.0
The next time I run apt-get upgrade I assume it is going to attempt to install 13 again, however I note that PostgreSQL 11 is a minimum requirement, which is not available. Is it time for me to remove gitlab from apt so I can continue to install security updates?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Hi @mcconnors I had a similar problem on Ubuntu 18.04.04. Here’s what I did to resolve it:
- upgrade to 12.10.6 (sounds like you already did this)
- resolve any warnings in
gitlab-ctl check-config or gitlab-rake gitlab:check
- run
gitlab-rake db:migrate, gitlab-ctl reconfigure, and gitlab-ctl restart
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade gitlab-ee -ygitlab-ctl reconfigure
Let me how it goes either way!
It worked. Thanks for your help. What I was forgetting was that postgresql is bundled, so it doesn’t matter what is available in apt.
The upgrade was successful. Not sure if I I need to do some tuning now though, as my pipeline builds re failing from time to time and I’m needing a restart to fix them.

If you’ve not already done so, I suggest upgrading any runners to version 13.0 as well. This should resolve any compatibility problems. You can check your runner versions at <external_url>/admin/runners. Let me know if this doesn’t resolve the issue you’re seeing with pipeline builds failing.

My runners are at 13 already. It has been stable now since yesterday.
