Add GitLab source with: curl -s | sudo bash Update and install GitLab 11.4.5 with: sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce=11.4.5-ce.0

Install the new server with GitLab 11.4.5.

Transfer gitlab-old folder to new server scp -r ~/gitlab-old New Server.

Change permission and ownership of ~/gitlab-old sudo chown user:user -R ~/gitlab-old.

Copy the backup file to folder ~/gitlab-old sudo cp /var/opt/gitlab/backups/XXXXXXXXXX_gitlab_backup.tar.

Copy the GitLab file configuration on folder /etc/gitlab ( gitlab.rb and gitlab-secrets.json) and folder /etc/gitlab/ssl to ~/gitlab-old sudo cp /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb ~/gitlab-old sudo cp /etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json ~/gitlab-old sudo cp -R /etc/gitlab/ssl ~/gitlab-old.

Create a folder named gitlab-old on the server mkdir gitlab-old.

Back up GitLab on old server sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create.

Shut down GitLab service sudo gitlab-ctl stop unicorn sudo gitlab-ctl stop sidekiq.

And the GitLab version that we use is 11.4.5. We choose the second way for the safety.įirst, we create a new server on GCP with Ubuntu Server 18.04, meanwhile the old server still use Ubuntu Server 14.04. The second way is to install GitLab on a new server with the same version as the old server. First way is to upgrade the old version to the same latest GitLab version, backup GitLab, and we can migrate to new server.

There are two ways to migrate the GitLab. When migrating GitLab to a new server, we might face much problems of in-compatible versions different operating system (so needs different latest GitLab version) etc. In this case, we used the Google Cloud Platform Compute Engine for the new server. Because of the policy of GITS Indonesia, we have to migrate the GitLab server to another server.
