At GitLab we see that one-click installers are frequently out of date and might not contain our Omnibus packages. The worst example of these are the Bitnami packages that can't be updated at all. We advise to not use one-click installers but instead start an vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 instance and use the recommended Omnibus package installation. This is almost as quick as a one-click install and you're sure of the latest version and easy upgrades. (from https://about.gitlab.com/installation/ https://about.gitlab.com/installation/)
- ridruejo 11y agoEarlier versions had problems, but it has been a while we fixed it and that is no longer the case. We bundle now PostgreSQL and provide instructions for upgrades : https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_GitLab#How_to_upgrade_Gitlab.3f https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_GitLab#How_to_... We are working on verifying the upgrade instructions with the new major version recently released. Happy to address any concerns or issues we missed
- sytse 11y agoGood to see that upgrading is better. I've adapted our statement https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/9016bfe2f9403eef0d5acc39646026a8888dbe08 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/9016bfe2... Compared to an installation from source, the Omnibus package is faster to install and upgrade, more reliable to upgrade and maintain. With your installation I think you have to upgrade GitLab, GitLab Shell and the nginx config separately. This is solved if you use the Omnibus package.
