## Upgrade of a GitLab instance
|
|
|
|
When upgrading a Gitlab instance, strictly follow the defined upgrade path. Consider to snapshot the filesystem if possible after each step.
|
|
|
|
Additional, after each step wait until all background migrations are completed before performing the next upgrade step.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
* [Upgrading to a specific version](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/package/#upgrade-to-a-specific-version-using-the-official-repositories)
|
|
|
|
To find the versions of a specific package in the Debian apt cache use
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt-cache madison gitlab-ce
|
|
```
|
|
To upgrade to a specific version use
|
|
```
|
|
apt install gitlab-ce=<version>
|
|
```
|
|
**Definitely observe the version specific upgrade instructions, especially background migrations!**
