doc/update/8.7-to-8.8.md

+# From 8.7 to 8.8
+
+Make sure you view this update guide from the tag (version) of GitLab you would
+like to install. In most cases this should be the highest numbered production
+tag (without rc in it). You can select the tag in the version dropdown at the
+top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).
+
+If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the
+[GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/archives.html) for installation
+guide links by version.
+
+### 1. Stop server
+
+    sudo service gitlab stop
+
+### 2. Backup
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+### 3. Get latest code
+
+```bash
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
+sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically
+```
+
+For GitLab Community Edition:
+
+```bash
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-8-stable
+```
+
+OR
+
+For GitLab Enterprise Edition:
+
+```bash
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-8-stable-ee
+```
+
+### 4. Update gitlab-shell
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v2.7.2
+```
+
+### 5. Update gitlab-workhorse
+
+Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. This requires
+[Go 1.5](https://golang.org/dl) which should already be on your system from
+GitLab 8.1.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v0.7.1
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 6. 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 postgres development test --deployment
+
+# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
+
+# Optional: clean up old gems
+sudo -u git -H bundle clean
+
+# 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
+
+```
+
+### 7. Update configuration files
+
+#### Git configuration
+
+Disable `git gc --auto` because GitLab runs `git gc` for us already.
+
+```sh
+sudo -u git -H git config --global gc.auto 0
+```
+
+#### Nginx configuration
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:
+
+```sh
+# For HTTPS configurations
+git diff origin/8-7-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/8-8-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
+
+# For HTTP configurations
+git diff origin/8-7-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/8-8-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
+```
+
+If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates].
+Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you
+will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port. You can do this
+via [/etc/default/gitlab].
+
+[Apache templates]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache
+[/etc/default/gitlab]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/8-8-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L37
+
+#### Init script
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:
+
+    sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
+
+### 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:
+
+    sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (8.6)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+
+Follow the [upgrade guide from 8.6 to 8.7](8.6-to-8.7.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.
