This page contains upgrade information for minor and patch versions of GitLab 14. Ensure you review these instructions for:
For more information about upgrading GitLab Helm Chart, see the release notes for 5.0.
Before upgrading to GitLab 14.10, you must already have the latest 14.9.Z installed on your instance.
The upgrade to GitLab 14.10 executes a concurrent index drop of unneeded
entries from the ci_job_artifacts
database table. This could potentially run for multiple minutes, especially if the table has a lot of
traffic and the migration is unable to acquire a lock. It is advised to let this process finish as restarting may result in data loss.
If you run GitLab with external PostgreSQL, particularly AWS RDS, ensure you upgrade PostgreSQL to patch levels to a minimum of 12.7 or 13.3 before upgrading to GitLab 14.8 or later.
In 14.8 for GitLab Enterprise Edition and in 15.0 for GitLab Community Edition a GitLab feature called Loose Foreign Keys was enabled.
After it was enabled, we have had reports of unplanned PostgreSQL restarts caused by a database engine bug that causes a segmentation fault.
For more information, see issue 364763.
Upgrading to patch level 14.10.3 or later might encounter a one-hour timeout due to a long running database data change, if it was not completed while running GitLab 14.9.

Mixlib::ShellOut::CommandTimeout: Command timed out after 3600s:
A workaround exists to complete the data change and the upgrade manually.
In GitLab 14.10, Gitaly has introduced a new runtime directory. This directory is intended to hold all files and directories Gitaly needs to create at runtime to operate correctly. This includes, for example, internal sockets, the Git execution environment, or the temporary hooks directory.
This new configuration can be set via gitaly['runtime_dir']
. It replaces the old gitaly['internal_socket_dir']
configuration. If the internal socket directory is not explicitly configured, sockets will be created in the runtime directory.
Support for gitaly['internal_socket_dir']
will be removed in 15.0.
Database changes made by the upgrade to GitLab 14.9 can take hours or days to complete on larger GitLab instances.
These batched background migrations update whole database tables to ensure corresponding
records in namespaces
table for each record in projects
table.
After you upgrade to 14.9.0 or a later 14.9 patch version, batched background migrations must finish before you upgrade to a later version.
If the migrations are not finished and you try to upgrade to a later version, you see errors like:
Expected batched background migration for the given configuration to be marked as 'finished', but it is 'active':
Or

GitLab 14.9.0 includes a
background migration ResetDuplicateCiRunnersTokenValuesOnProjects
that may remain stuck permanently in a pending state.
To clean up this stuck job, run the following in the GitLab Rails Console:
Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.pending.where(class_name: "ResetDuplicateCiRunnersTokenValuesOnProjects").find_each do |job|
puts Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.mark_all_as_succeeded("ResetDuplicateCiRunnersTokenValuesOnProjects", job.arguments)
end

Do not upgrade to GitLab 14.9.0. Instead, use 14.9.1 or later.
We've discovered an issue with Geo's CI verification feature that may cause job traces to be lost. This issue was fixed in the GitLab 14.9.1 patch release.
If you have already upgraded to GitLab 14.9.0, you can disable the feature causing the issue by
disabling the geo_job_artifact_replication
feature flag.
If upgrading from a version earlier than 14.6.5, 14.7.4, or 14.8.2, review the Critical Security Release: 14.8.2, 14.7.4, and 14.6.5 blog post. Updating to 14.8.2 or later resets runner registration tokens for your groups and projects.
The agent server for Kubernetes is enabled by default on Omnibus installations. If you run GitLab at scale, such as the reference architectures, you must disable the agent on the following server types, if the agent is not required.
redis['enable'] = true
and not via roles
)roles(['application_role'])
, such as the GitLab Rails nodesThe reference architectures have been updated with this configuration change and a specific role for standalone Redis servers.
Steps to disable the agent:
gitlab_kas['enable'] = false
to gitlab.rb
.gitlab-ctl reconfigure
.GitLab 14.8.0 includes a
background migration PopulateTopicsNonPrivateProjectsCount
that may remain stuck permanently in a pending state.
To clean up this stuck job, run the following in the GitLab Rails Console:
Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.pending.where(class_name: "PopulateTopicsNonPrivateProjectsCount").find_each do |job|
puts Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.mark_all_as_succeeded("PopulateTopicsNonPrivateProjectsCount", job.arguments)
end
If upgrading from a version earlier than 14.3.0, to avoid an issue with job retries, first upgrade to GitLab 14.7.x and make sure all batched migrations have finished.
If upgrading from version 14.3.0 or later, you might notice a failed
batched migration named
BackfillNamespaceIdForNamespaceRoute
. You can ignore
this. Retry it after you upgrade to version 14.9.x.
If you run GitLab with external PostgreSQL, particularly AWS RDS, ensure you upgrade PostgreSQL to patch levels to a minimum of 12.7 or 13.3 before upgrading to GitLab 14.8 or later.

GitLab 14.7 introduced a change where Gitaly expects persistent files in the /tmp
directory.
When using the noatime
mount option on /tmp
in a node running Gitaly, most Linux distributions
run into an issue with Git server hooks getting deleted.
These conditions are present in the default Amazon Linux configuration.
If your Linux distribution manages files in /tmp
with the tmpfiles.d
service, you
can override the behavior of tmpfiles.d
for the Gitaly files and avoid this issue:
sudo printf "x /tmp/gitaly-%s-*\n" hooks git-exec-path >/etc/tmpfiles.d/gitaly-workaround.conf
This issue is fixed in GitLab 14.10 and later when using the Gitaly runtime directory to specify a location to store persistent files.
In GitLab 14.8, we are upgrading Redis from 6.0.16 to 6.2.6. This upgrade is expected to be fully backwards compatible.
Follow the zero-downtime instructions for upgrading your Redis HA cluster.

LFS objects import and mirror issue in GitLab 14.6.0 to 14.7.2. When Geo is enabled, LFS objects fail to be saved for imported or mirrored projects. This bug was fixed in GitLab 14.8.0 and backported into 14.7.3.
There is an issue in GitLab 14.2 through 14.7 that affects Geo when the GitLab-managed object storage replication is used, causing blob object types to fail synchronization.
Since GitLab 14.2, verification failures result in synchronization failures and cause a resynchronization of these objects.
As verification is not yet implemented for files stored in object storage (see issue 13845 for more details), this results in a loop that consistently fails for all objects stored in object storage.

Connections between Workhorse and Gitaly use the Gitaly backchannel
protocol by default. If you deployed a gRPC proxy between Workhorse and Gitaly,
Workhorse can no longer connect. As a workaround, disable the temporary workhorse_use_sidechannel
feature flag. If you need a proxy between Workhorse and Gitaly, use a TCP proxy. If you have feedback about this change, go to this issue.
In 14.1 we introduced a background migration that changes how we store merge request diff commits,
to significantly reduce the amount of storage needed.
In 14.5 we introduce a set of migrations that wrap up this process by making sure
that all remaining jobs over the merge_request_diff_commits
table are completed.
These jobs have already been processed in most cases so that no extra time is necessary during an upgrade to 14.5.
However, if there are remaining jobs or you haven't already upgraded to 14.1,
the deployment may take multiple hours to complete.
All merge request diff commits automatically incorporate these changes, and there are no
additional requirements to perform the upgrade.
Existing data in the merge_request_diff_commits
table remains unpacked until you run VACUUM FULL merge_request_diff_commits
.
However, the VACUUM FULL
operation locks and rewrites the entire merge_request_diff_commits
table,
so the operation takes some time to complete and it blocks access to this table until the end of the process.
We advise you to only run this command while GitLab is not actively used or it is taken offline for the duration of the process.
The time it takes to complete depends on the size of the table, which can be obtained by using select pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('merge_request_diff_commits'));
.
For more information, refer to this issue.
GitLab 14.5.0 includes a
background migration UpdateVulnerabilityOccurrencesLocation
that may remain stuck permanently in a pending state when the instance lacks records that match the migration's target.
To clean up this stuck job, run the following in the GitLab Rails Console:
Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.pending.where(class_name: "UpdateVulnerabilityOccurrencesLocation").find_each do |job|
puts Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.mark_all_as_succeeded("UpdateVulnerabilityOccurrencesLocation", job.arguments)

Upgrading to 14.5 (or later) might encounter a one hour timeout owing to a long running database data change.

For zero-downtime upgrades on a GitLab cluster with separate Web and API nodes, you must enable the paginated_tree_graphql_query
feature flag before upgrading GitLab Web nodes to 14.4.
This is because we enabled paginated_tree_graphql_query
by default in 14.4, so if GitLab UI is on 14.4 and its API is on 14.3, the frontend has this feature enabled but the backend has it disabled. This results in the following error:
bundle.esm.js:63 Uncaught (in promise) Error: GraphQL error: Field 'paginatedTree' doesn't exist on type 'Repository'

Git 2.33.x and later is required. We recommend you use the Git version provided by Gitaly.
When Maintenance mode is enabled, users cannot sign in with SSO, SAML, or LDAP.
Users who were signed in before Maintenance mode was enabled, continue to be signed in. If the administrator who enabled Maintenance mode loses their session, then they can't disable Maintenance mode via the UI. In that case, you can disable Maintenance mode via the API or Rails console.
This bug was fixed in GitLab 14.5.0 and backported into 14.4.3 and 14.3.5.
After enabling database load balancing by default in 14.4.0, we found an issue where cron jobs would not work if the connection to PostgreSQL was severed, as Sidekiq would continue using a bad connection. Geo and other features that rely on cron jobs running regularly do not work until Sidekiq is restarted. We recommend upgrading to GitLab 14.4.3 and later if this issue affects you.
After enabling database load balancing by default in 14.4.0, we found an issue where Database load balancing does not work with an AWS Aurora cluster. We recommend moving your databases from Aurora to RDS for PostgreSQL before upgrading. Refer to Moving GitLab databases to a different PostgreSQL instance.
GitLab 14.4.0 includes a
background migration PopulateTopicsTotalProjectsCountCache
that may remain stuck permanently in a pending state when the instance lacks records that match the migration's target.
To clean up this stuck job, run the following in the GitLab Rails Console:
Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.pending.where(class_name: "PopulateTopicsTotalProjectsCountCache").find_each do |job|
puts Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.mark_all_as_succeeded("PopulateTopicsTotalProjectsCountCache", job.arguments)
end
In GitLab 14.4, the provided Grafana version is 7.5, this is a downgrade from the Grafana 8.1 version introduced in GitLab 14.3. This was reverted to an Apache-licensed Grafana release to allow time to consider the implications of the newer AGPL-licensed releases.
Users that have customized their Grafana install with plugins or library panels may experience errors in Grafana after
the downgrade. If the errors persist after a Grafana restart you may need to reset the Grafana db and re-add the
customizations. The Grafana database can be reset with sudo gitlab-ctl reset-grafana
.

There is an issue in GitLab 14.4.0 through 14.4.2 that can affect Geo and other features that rely on cronjobs. We recommend upgrading to GitLab 14.4.3 or later.
Instances running 14.0.0 - 14.0.4 should not upgrade directly to GitLab 14.2 or later.
Ensure batched background migrations finish before upgrading to 14.3.Z from earlier GitLab 14 releases.
GitLab 14.3.0 contains post-deployment migrations to address Primary Key overflow risk for tables with an integer PK for the tables listed below:
If the migrations are executed as part of a no-downtime deployment, there's a risk of failure due to lock conflicts with the application logic, resulting in lock timeout or deadlocks. In each case, these migrations are safe to re-run until successful:
# For Omnibus GitLab
sudo gitlab-rake db:migrate
# For source installations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
After upgrading to 14.3, ensure that all the MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers
background
migration jobs have completed before continuing with upgrading to GitLab 14.5 or later.
This is especially important if your GitLab instance has a large
merge_request_diff_commits
table. Any pending
MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers
background migration jobs are
foregrounded in GitLab 14.5, and may take a long time to complete.
You can check the count of pending jobs for
MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers
by using the PostgreSQL console (or sudo gitlab-psql
):
select status, count(*) from background_migration_jobs
where class_name = 'MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers' group by status;
As jobs are completed, the database records change from 0
(pending) to 1
. If the number of
pending jobs doesn't decrease after a while, it's possible that the
MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers
background migration jobs have failed. You
can check for errors in the Sidekiq logs:
sudo grep MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers /var/log/gitlab/sidekiq/current | grep -i error
If needed, you can attempt to run the MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers
background
migration jobs manually in the GitLab Rails Console.
This can be done using Sidekiq asynchronously, or by using a Rails process directly:
Using Sidekiq to schedule jobs asynchronously:
# For the first run, only attempt to execute 1 migration. If successful, increase
# the limit for subsequent runs
limit = 1
jobs = Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob.for_migration_class('MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers').pending.to_a
pp "#{jobs.length} jobs remaining"
jobs.first(limit).each do |job|
BackgroundMigrationWorker.perform_in(5.minutes, 'MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers', job.arguments)
end
NOTE:
The queued jobs can be monitored using the Sidekiq admin panel, which can be accessed at the /admin/sidekiq
endpoint URI.
Using a Rails process to run jobs synchronously:
def process(concurrency: 1)
queue = Queue.new
Gitlab::Database::BackgroundMigrationJob
.where(class_name: 'MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers', status: 0)
.each { |job| queue << job }
concurrency
.times
.map do
Thread.new do
Thread.abort_on_exception = true
loop do
job = queue.pop(true)
time = Benchmark.measure do
Gitlab::BackgroundMigration::MigrateMergeRequestDiffCommitUsers

.perform(*job.arguments)
end
puts "#{job.id} finished in #{time.real.round(2)} seconds"
rescue ThreadError
break
end
end
end
.each(&:join)
end
ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level = Logger::ERROR
process
NOTE:
When using Rails to execute these background migrations synchronously, make sure that the machine running the process has sufficient resources to handle the task. If the process gets terminated, it's likely due to insufficient memory available. If your SSH session times out after a while, it might be necessary to run the previous code by using a terminal multiplexer like screen
or tmux

We found an issue where the container registry replication
wasn't fully working if you used multi-arch images. In case of a multi-arch image, only the primary architecture
(for example amd64
) would be replicated to the secondary site. This has been fixed in GitLab 14.3 and was backported to 14.2 and 14.1, but manual steps are required to force a re-sync.
You can check if you are affected by running:
docker manifest inspect <SECONDARY_IMAGE_LOCATION> | jq '.mediaType'
Where <SECONDARY_IMAGE_LOCATION>
is a container image on your secondary site.
If the output matches application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.list.v2+json

entry at several levels, we only care about the top level entry),
then you don't need to do anything.

If you are running a version prior to 14.1 and are using Geo and multi-arch containers in your container registry, we recommend upgrading to at least GitLab 14.1.
Instances running 14.0.0 - 14.0.4 should not upgrade directly to GitLab 14.2 or later but can upgrade to 14.1.Z.
It is not required for instances already running 14.0.5 (or later) to stop at 14.1.Z. 14.1 is included on the upgrade path for the broadest compatibility with self-managed installations, and ensure 14.0.0-14.0.4 installations do not encounter issues with batched background migrations.
Upgrading to GitLab 14.5 (or later) may take a lot longer if you do not upgrade to at least 14.1 first. The 14.1 merge request diff commits database migration can take hours to run, but runs in the background while GitLab is in use. GitLab instances upgraded directly from 14.0 to 14.5 or later must run the migration in the foreground and therefore take a lot longer to complete.

list_type = 'application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.list.v2+json'
Geo::ContainerRepositoryRegistry.synced.each do |gcr|
cr = gcr.container_repository
primary = Geo::ContainerRepositorySync.new(cr)
cr.tags.each do |tag|
primary_manifest = JSON.parse(primary.send(:client).repository_raw_manifest(cr.path, tag.name))
next unless primary_manifest['mediaType'].eql?(list_type)
cr.delete_tag_by_name(tag.name)
end
primary.execute
end
If you are running a version prior to 14.1 and are using Geo and multi-arch containers in your container registry, we recommend upgrading to at least GitLab 14.1.
We found an issue where Primary sites cannot be removed from the UI.
This bug only exists in the UI and does not block the removal of Primary sites using any other method.
If you are running an affected version and need to remove your Primary site, you can manually remove the Primary site by using the Geo Sites API.
Prerequisites:
Long running batched background database migrations:
Database changes made by the upgrade to GitLab 14.0 can take hours or days to complete on larger GitLab instances. These batched background migrations update whole database tables to mitigate primary key overflow and must be finished before upgrading to GitLab 14.2 or later.
Due to an issue where BatchedBackgroundMigrationWorkers
were
not working
for self-managed instances, a fix was created
that requires an update to at least 14.0.5. The fix was also released in 14.1.0.
After you update to 14.0.5 or a later 14.0 patch version, batched background migrations must finish before you upgrade to a later version.
If the migrations are not finished and you try to upgrade to a later version, you see an error like:
Expected batched background migration for the given configuration to be marked as 'finished', but it is 'active':
See how to resolve this error.
Other issues:
In GitLab 13.3 some pipeline processing methods were deprecated and this code was completely removed in GitLab 14.0. If you plan to upgrade from GitLab 13.2 or older directly to 14.0, this is unsupported. You should instead follow a supported upgrade path.
When Maintenance mode is enabled, users cannot sign in with SSO, SAML, or LDAP.
Users who were signed in before Maintenance mode was enabled, continue to be signed in. If the administrator who enabled Maintenance mode loses their session, then they can't disable Maintenance mode via the UI. In that case, you can disable Maintenance mode via the API or Rails console.
This bug was fixed in GitLab 14.5.0 and backported into 14.4.3 and 14.3.5.
In GitLab 13.12.2 and later, users with expired passwords can no longer authenticate with API and Git using tokens because of the Insufficient Expired Password Validation security fix. If your users get authentication issues following the upgrade, check that their password is not expired:
Connect to the PostgreSQL database and execute the following query:
select id,username,password_expires_at from users where password_expires_at < now();
If the user is in the returned list, reset the password_expires_at
for that user:
update users set password_expires_at = null where username='<USERNAME>';
The binaries for PostgreSQL 11 and repmgr have been removed. Before upgrading, you must:
In GitLab 13.0, sidekiq-cluster
was enabled by default and the sidekiq
service ran sidekiq-cluster
under the hood.
However, users could control this behavior using sidekiq['cluster']
setting to run Sidekiq directly instead. Users
could also run sidekiq-cluster
separately using the various sidekiq_cluster[*]
settings available in gitlab.rb
.
However these features were deprecated and are now being removed.
Starting with GitLab 14.0, sidekiq-cluster
becomes the only way to run Sidekiq in Linux package installations. As
part of this process, support for the following settings in gitlab.rb
is being removed:
sidekiq['cluster']
setting. Sidekiq can only be run using sidekiq-cluster
now.sidekiq_cluster[*]
settings. They should be set via respective sidekiq[*]
counterparts.sidekiq['concurrency']
setting. The limits should be controlled using the two settings sidekiq['min_concurrency']
and sidekiq['max_concurrency']
.In GitLab 13.0, Puma became the default web server for GitLab, but users were still able to continue using Unicorn if needed. Starting with GitLab 14.0, Unicorn is no longer supported as a webserver for GitLab and is no longer shipped with the Linux package.
Users must migrate to Puma following the documentation to upgrade to GitLab 14.0.
The Consul version has been updated from 1.6.10 to 1.9.6 for Geo and multi-node PostgreSQL installs. Its important that Consul nodes be upgraded and restarted one at a time.
For more information, see Upgrade the Consul nodes.
Starting with GitLab 14.0, GitLab automatically generates a password for initial administrator user (root
) and stores
this value to /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password
.
For more information, see Set up the initial password.
Two configuration options for Redis were deprecated in GitLab 13 and removed in GitLab 14:
redis_slave_role
is replaced with redis_replica_role
.redis['client_output_buffer_limit_slave']
is replaced with redis['client_output_buffer_limit_replica']
.Redis Cache nodes being upgraded from GitLab 13.12 to 14.0 that still refer to redis_slave_role
in gitlab.rb
will
encounter an error in the output of gitlab-ctl reconfigure
:
There was an error running gitlab-ctl reconfigure:
The following invalid roles have been set in 'roles': redis_slave_role
DETAILS: Tier: Premium, Ultimate Offering: Self-managed
