Upgrade paths
Upgrading across multiple GitLab versions in one go is only possible by accepting downtime. If you don’t want any downtime, read how to upgrade with zero downtime.
For a dynamic view of examples of supported upgrade paths, try the Upgrade Path tool maintained by the GitLab Support team. To share feedback and help improve the tool, create an issue or MR in the upgrade-path project.
When upgrading:
-
Find where your version sits in the upgrade path:
- Check for required upgrade stops.
- Consult the version-specific upgrade instructions.
- Upgrade GitLab accordingly.
