GitLab has the Omnibus packages. We build it for few major linux distributions and you can get the package from here: https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce (you can also add it as debian/rpm source, see installation).
Upgrading is a matter of `apt update && apt upgrade` and checking for eventual configuration changes/deprecations in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`. If you read the release note posts, upgrade instructions are always on the bottom of the page.
All packages are GPG signed, so you can check for tempering. If you don't trust our builds, you can fork our omnibus-gitlab repo and trigger a build on your own hardware.
