gitlab-升级笔记(11.10.8升级到12.4.2 )

执行升级：

$ sudo apt-get upgrade gitlab-ce 

提示我运行的已经是最新版本，并没提示需要升级，但是我在dashboard看到提示有新版可以升级：

运行 ubuntu@gitlab:~$ sudo apt-cache madison gitlab-ce"不会显示比当前安装的版本更高的任何版本。

似乎新版本在https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/ubuntu/trusty main 上不可用。

检查我们系统版本：

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:	14.04
Codename:	trusty

可能是因为GitLab认为trusty太老了，无法支持，并且已经停止为其构建软件包-鉴于官方支持已于4月结束，而11.10是从4月开始的-这似乎很公平。

升级 ubuntu 14.04 - 16.04

$ apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

$ reboot

$do-release-upgrade

查看已经升级ubuntu成功：

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial

修改apt 关于gitlab-ce的源，指向 xenial版：

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitlab_gitlab-ce.list

deb https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/gitlab-ce/ubuntu xenial main

$ sudo apt-get update

继续尝试升级，现在终于有升级了：不过提示gitlab需要先升级到11.11

升级到11.11

sudo apt-get upgrade gitlab-ce=11.11.0-ce.0

然后升级到最新版（12.4.2）：

$sudo apt-get upgrade gitlab-ce

$sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

$sudo gitlab-ctl restart

升级完后，再打开dashboard,看到已经升级成功：
