# From 5.1 to 5.4
Also works starting from 5.2.

### 0. Backup

It's useful to make a backup just in case things go south:
(With MySQL, this may require granting "LOCK TABLES" privileges to the GitLab user on the database version)

```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
sudo -u git -H git checkout 5-4-stable # Latest version of 5-4-stable addresses CVE-2013-4489
```

### 3. Update gitlab-shell

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
sudo -u git -H git fetch
31
sudo -u git -H git checkout v1.7.9 # Addresses multiple critical security vulnerabilities

```

### 4. Install libs, migrations, etc.

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab

# MySQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test postgres --deployment

#PostgreSQL
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without development test mysql --deployment

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
```

### 5. Update config files

52 53
* Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml` same as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/5-4-stable/config/gitlab.yml.example but with your settings.
* Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/puma.rb` same as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/5-4-stable/config/puma.rb.example but with your settings.

### 6. Update Init script

```bash
sudo rm /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/gitlab
```

### 7. Create uploads directory

```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H mkdir public/uploads
sudo chmod -R u+rwX  public/uploads
```


### 8. Start application

    sudo service gitlab start
    sudo service nginx restart

### 9. 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 complete!

## Things went south? Revert to previous version (5.3)

### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
Follow the [`upgrade guide from 5.2 to 5.3`](5.2-to-5.3.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
```
