Upgrading from Bitnami GitLab 7.1.1-0 to Latest

How to Use GitLab Upgrade
1

I currently have Bitnamis GitLab 7.1.1-0 installed, trying to upgrade to 8, then omnibus latest. I’ve seen various instructions, none are working. Right now I’m trying just the first steps, backing everything up, using instructions here:

When I try to run the rake backup command, this one:

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production

I get:

So I change that command to:

sudo su git
bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production

I then get this error:

Not quite sure how to proceed at this point since all docs I’ve found on the upgrade process state to run these commands to backup first, which won’t run.

Thanks!

I read

The Bitnami GitLab CE stack uses the standard GitLab Omnibus package,

So why are you using commands meant for installations from source?
