# From 6.6 to 6.7
### 0. Backup
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
```
### 1. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
### 2. Get latest code
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
```
For Gitlab Community Edition:
```bash
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-7-stable
```
OR
For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
```bash
sudo -u git -H git checkout 6-7-stable-ee
```
### 3. Update gitlab-shell (and its config)
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.9.1
```
### 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment
# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without ... mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment
# Run database migrations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
# Update init.d script
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
# Update the logrotate configuration (keep logs for 90 days instead of 52 weeks)
sudo cp lib/support/logrotate/gitlab /etc/logrotate.d/gitlab
# Close access to gitlab-satellites for others
sudo chmod u+rwx,g+rx,o-rwx /home/git/gitlab-satellites
```
### 5. Update config files
#### New configuration options for gitlab.yml
There are new configuration options available for gitlab.yml. View them with the command below and apply them to your current gitlab.yml if desired.
```
git diff 6-7-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example 6-8-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
```
#### MySQL? Remove reaping frequency
If you are using MySQL as a database, remove `reaping_frequency` from you database.yml to prevent crashes. [Relevant commit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/5163a8fcb9cfd63435560fda00173b76df2ccc93).
#### HTTPS? Disable gzip
If you are using HTTPS, disable gzip as in [this commit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/563fec734912d81cd7caea6fa8ec2b397fb72a9b) to prevent BREACH attacks.
#### Turn on asset compression
To improve performance, enable gzip asset compression as seen [in this commit](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/8af94ed75505f0253823b9b2d44320fecea5b5fb).
### 6. Update Init script
```bash
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
```
### 7. Start application
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
### 8. Check application status
Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade is complete!
## Things went south? Revert to previous version (6.6)
### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the [`upgrade guide from 6.5 to 6.6`](6.5-to-6.6.md), except for the database migration
(The backup is already migrated to the previous version)
### 2. Restore from the backup:
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
```
If you have more than one backup *.tar file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.
