## Migrate GitLab CI to GitLab CE/EE
## Migrate GitLab CI to GitLab CE or EE
## Notice
Beginning with version 8.0 of GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise
Edition (EE), GitLab CI is no longer its own application, but is instead built
into the CE and EE applications.
**You need to have working GitLab CI 7.14 to perform migration.
The older versions are not supported and will most likely break migration procedure.**
This guide will detail the process of migrating your CI installation and data
into your GitLab CE or EE installation.
This migration can't be done online and takes significant amount of time.
Make sure to plan it ahead.
### Before we begin
If you are running older version please follow the upgrade guide first:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci/blob/master/doc/update/7.13-to-7.14.md
**You need to have a working installation of GitLab CI version 7.14 to perform
this migration. The older versions are not supported and will most likely break
this migration procedure.**
The migration is divided into a two parts:
1. **[CI]** You will be making a changes to GitLab CI instance.
1. **[CE]** You will be making a changes to GitLab CE/EE instance.
This migration cannot be performed online and takes a significant amount of
time. Make sure to plan ahead.
### 1. Stop CI server [CI]
If you are running a version of GitLab CI prior to 7.14 please follow the
appropriate [update guide](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci/blob/master/doc/update/).
The migration is divided into three parts:
1. [GitLab CI](#part-i-gitlab-ci)
1. [Gitlab CE (or EE)](#part-ii-gitlab-ce-or-ee)
1. [Finishing Up](#part-iii-finishing-up)
### Part I: GitLab CI
#### 1. Stop GitLab CI
sudo service gitlab_ci stop
### 2. Backup [CI]
#### 2. Create a backup
**The migration procedure is database breaking.
You need to create backup if you still want to access GitLab CI in case of failure.**
The migration procedure modifies the structure of the CI database. If something
goes wrong, you will not be able to revert to a previous version without a
backup:
```bash
cd /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci
sudo -u gitlab_ci -H bundle exec backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
```
### 3. Prepare GitLab CI database to migration [CI]
Copy and paste the command in terminal to rename all tables.
This also breaks your database structure disallowing you to use it anymore.
cat <<EOF | bundle exec rails dbconsole production
ALTER TABLE application_settings RENAME TO ci_application_settings;
ALTER TABLE builds RENAME TO ci_builds;
ALTER TABLE commits RENAME TO ci_commits;
ALTER TABLE events RENAME TO ci_events;
ALTER TABLE jobs RENAME TO ci_jobs;
ALTER TABLE projects RENAME TO ci_projects;
ALTER TABLE runner_projects RENAME TO ci_runner_projects;
ALTER TABLE runners RENAME TO ci_runners;
ALTER TABLE services RENAME TO ci_services;
ALTER TABLE tags RENAME TO ci_tags;
ALTER TABLE taggings RENAME TO ci_taggings;
ALTER TABLE trigger_requests RENAME TO ci_trigger_requests;
ALTER TABLE triggers RENAME TO ci_triggers;
ALTER TABLE variables RENAME TO ci_variables;
ALTER TABLE web_hooks RENAME TO ci_web_hooks;
EOF
### 4. Remove CI cronjob
#### 3. Rename database tables
To prevent naming conflicts with database tables in GitLab CE or EE, we need to
rename CI's tables to begin with a `ci_` prefix:
```sh
cat <<EOF | bundle exec rails dbconsole production
ALTER TABLE application_settings RENAME TO ci_application_settings;
ALTER TABLE builds RENAME TO ci_builds;
ALTER TABLE commits RENAME TO ci_commits;
ALTER TABLE events RENAME TO ci_events;
ALTER TABLE jobs RENAME TO ci_jobs;
ALTER TABLE projects RENAME TO ci_projects;
ALTER TABLE runner_projects RENAME TO ci_runner_projects;
ALTER TABLE runners RENAME TO ci_runners;
ALTER TABLE services RENAME TO ci_services;
ALTER TABLE tags RENAME TO ci_tags;
ALTER TABLE taggings RENAME TO ci_taggings;
ALTER TABLE trigger_requests RENAME TO ci_trigger_requests;
ALTER TABLE triggers RENAME TO ci_triggers;
ALTER TABLE variables RENAME TO ci_variables;
ALTER TABLE web_hooks RENAME TO ci_web_hooks;
EOF
```
#### 4. Remove cronjob
```
cd /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci
sudo -u gitlab_ci -H bundle exec whenever --clear-crontab
```
### 5. Dump GitLab CI database [CI]
#### 5. Create a database dump
First check used database and credentials on GitLab CI and GitLab CE/EE:
In this step, you will need to know information about both your CI and CE (or
EE) databases, such as the server types, hosts, and ports, and the usernames and
passwords.
1. To check it on GitLab CI:
We can obtain the necessary information from the `config/database.yml` files for
each installation.
1. Get the information for the CI database:
```sh
cat /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci/config/database.yml
```
1. To check it on GitLab CE/EE:
1. Then for the CE (or EE) database:
```sh
cat /home/git/gitlab/config/database.yml
```
Please first check the database engine used for GitLab CI and GitLab CE/EE.
1. If your GitLab CI uses **mysql2** and GitLab CE/EE uses it too.
Please follow **Dump MySQL** guide.
1. If your GitLab CI uses **postgres** and GitLab CE/EE uses **postgres**.
Please follow **Dump PostgreSQL** guide.
1. The output of each command should look something like this:
1. If your GitLab CI uses **mysql2** and GitLab CE/EE uses **postgres**.
Please follow **Dump MySQL and migrate to PostgreSQL** guide.
**Remember credentials stored for accessing GitLab CI.
You will need to put these credentials into commands executed below.**
$ cat config/database.yml [10:06:55]
#
# PRODUCTION
#
```yml
production:
adapter: postgresql or mysql2
adapter: postgresql (or mysql2)
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: GITLAB_CI_DATABASE
......@@ -100,26 +109,42 @@ You will need to put these credentials into commands executed below.**
host: DB_HOSTNAME
port: DB_PORT
# socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
```
1. Depending on the values for `adapter`, you will have to use different
commands to perform the database dump.
#### a. Dump MySQL
**NOTE:** For any of the commands below, you'll need to substitute the
values `IN_UPPERCASE` with the corresponding values from your **CI
installation's** `config/database.yml` files above.
- If both your CI and CE (or EE) installations use **mysql2** as the `adapter`, use
`mysqldump`:
```sh
mysqldump --default-character-set=utf8 --complete-insert --no-create-info \
--host=DB_USERNAME --port=DB_PORT --user=DB_HOSTNAME -p
GITLAB_CI_DATABASE \
--host=DB_USERNAME --port=DB_PORT --user=DB_HOSTNAME -p GITLAB_CI_DATABASE \

ci_runner_projects ci_runners ci_services ci_tags ci_taggings ci_trigger_requests \
ci_triggers ci_variables ci_web_hooks > gitlab_ci.sql
```
#### b. Dump PostgreSQL
- If both your CI and CE (or EE) installations use **postgresql** as the
`adapter`, use `pg_dump`:
pg_dump -h DB_HOSTNAME -U DB_USERNAME -p DB_PORT --data-only GITLAB_CI_DATABASE -t "ci_*" > gitlab_ci.sql
```sh
pg_dump -h DB_HOSTNAME -U DB_USERNAME -p DB_PORT \
--data-only GITLAB_CI_DATABASE -t "ci_*" > gitlab_ci.sql
```
#### c. Dump MySQL and migrate to PostgreSQL
- If your CI installation uses **mysql2** as the `adapter` and your CE (or
EE) installation uses **postgresql**, use `mysqldump` to dump the database
and then convert it to PostgreSQL using [mysql-postgresql-converter]:
```sh
# Dump existing MySQL database first
mysqldump --default-character-set=utf8 --compatible=postgresql --complete-insert \
--host=DB_USERNAME --port=DB_PORT --user=DB_HOSTNAME -p

### Part II: GitLab CE (or EE)
### 6. Make sure that your GitLab CE/EE is 8.0 [CE]
#### 1. Ensure GitLab is updated
Please verify that you use GitLab CE/EE 8.0.
If not, please follow the update guide: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/7.14-to-8.0.md
Your GitLab CE or EE installation **must be version 8.0**. If it's not, follow
the [update guide](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/update/7.14-to-8.0.md).
### 7. Stop GitLab CE/EE [CE]
#### 2. Stop GitLab
Before you can migrate data you need to stop GitLab CE/EE first.
Before you can migrate data you need to stop the GitLab service first:
sudo service gitlab stop
### 8. Backup GitLab CE/EE [CE]
#### 3. Create a backup
This migration poses a **significant risk** of breaking your GitLab CE/EE.
**You should create the GitLab CI/EE backup before doing it.**
This migration poses a **significant risk** of breaking your GitLab
installation. Create a backup before proceeding:
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
### 9. Copy secret tokens [CE]
#### 4. Copy secret tokens from CI
The `secrets.yml` file stores encryption keys for secure variables.
You need to copy the content of `config/secrets.yml` to the same file in GitLab CE.
You need to copy the contents of GitLab CI's `config/secrets.yml` file to the
same file in GitLab CE:
sudo cp /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci/config/secrets.yml /home/git/gitlab/config/secrets.yml
sudo chown git:git /home/git/gitlab/config/secrets.yml
sudo chown 0600 /home/git/gitlab/config/secrets.yml
### 10. New configuration options for `gitlab.yml` [CE]
#### 5. New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
There are new configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`](config/gitlab.yml.example).
View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
There are new configuration options available for `gitlab.yml`. View them with
the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
```sh
git diff origin/7-14-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/8-0-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
```
The new options include configuration of GitLab CI that are now being part of GitLab CE and EE.
The new options include configuration settings for GitLab CI.
### 11. Copy build logs [CE]
#### 6. Copy build logs
You need to copy the contents of `builds/` to the same directory in GitLab CE/EE.
You need to copy the contents of GitLab CI's `builds/` directory to the
corresponding directory in GitLab CE or EE:
sudo rsync -av /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci/builds /home/git/gitlab/builds
sudo chown -R git:git /home/git/gitlab/builds
The build traces are usually quite big so it will take a significant amount of time.
The build logs are usually quite big so it may take a significant amount of
time.
### 12. Import GitLab CI database [CE]
#### 7. Import GitLab CI database
The one of the last steps is to import existing GitLab CI database.
Now you'll import the GitLab CI database dump that you [created
earlier](#create-a-database-dump) into the GitLab CE or EE database:
sudo mv /home/gitlab_ci/gitlab-ci/gitlab_ci.sql /home/git/gitlab/gitlab_ci.sql
sudo chown git:git /home/git/gitlab/gitlab_ci.sql
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake ci:migrate CI_DUMP=/home/git/gitlab/gitlab_ci.sql RAILS_ENV=production
The task does:
This task will:
1. Delete data from all existing CI tables
1. Import database data
1. Fix database auto increments
1. Import data from database dump
1. Fix database auto-increments
1. Fix tags assigned to Builds and Runners
1. Fix services used by CI
### 13. Start GitLab [CE]
#### 8. Start GitLab
You can start GitLab CI/EE now and see if everything is working.
You can start GitLab CI (or EE) now and see if everything is working:
sudo service gitlab start
### 14. Update nginx [CI]
### Part III: Finishing Up
#### 1. Update Nginx configuration
Now get back to GitLab CI and update **Nginx** configuration in order to:
1. Have all existing runners able to communicate with a migrated GitLab CI.
1. Have GitLab able send build triggers to CI address specified in Project's settings -> Services -> GitLab CI.
To ensure that your existing CI runners are able to communicate with the
migrated installation, and that existing build triggers still work, you'll need
to update your Nginx configuration to redirect requests for the old locations to
the new ones.
You need to edit `/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab_ci` and paste:
Edit `/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab_ci` and paste:
# GITLAB CI
server {
```nginx
# GITLAB CI
server {
listen 80 default_server; # e.g., listen 192.168.1.1:80;
server_name YOUR_CI_SERVER_FQDN; # e.g., server_name source.example.com;
......@@ -250,31 +289,36 @@ You need to edit `/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab_ci` and paste:
# adjust this to match the largest build log your runners might submit,
# set to 0 to disable limit
client_max_body_size 10m;
}
}
```
Make sure you substitute these placeholder values with your real ones:
1. `YOUR_CI_SERVER_FQDN`: The existing public-facing address of your GitLab CI
install (e.g., `ci.gitlab.com`).
1. `YOUR_GITLAB_SERVER_FQDN`: The current public-facing address of your GitLab
CE (or EE) install (e.g., `gitlab.com`).
Make sure to fill the blanks to match your setup:
1. **YOUR_CI_SERVER_FQDN**: The existing public facing address of GitLab CI, eg. ci.gitlab.com.
1. **YOUR_GITLAB_SERVER_FQDN**: The public facing address of GitLab CE/EE, eg. gitlab.com.
**Make sure not to remove the `/ci$request_uri` part. This is required to properly forward the requests.**
**Make sure to not remove the `/ci$request_uri`. This is required to properly forward the requests.**
You should also make sure that you can:
You should also make sure that you can do:
1. `curl https://YOUR_GITLAB_SERVER_FQDN/` from your previous GitLab CI server.
1. `curl https://YOUR_CI_SERVER_FQDN/` from your GitLab CE/EE server.
1. `curl https://YOUR_CI_SERVER_FQDN/` from your GitLab CE (or EE) server.
## Check your configuration
#### 2. Check Nginx configuration
sudo nginx -t
## Restart nginx
#### 3. Restart Nginx
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
### 15. Done!
#### 4. Done!
If everything went OK you should be able to access all your GitLab CI data by pointing your browser to:
https://gitlab.example.com/ci/.
If everything went well you should be able to access your migrated CI install by
visiting `https://gitlab.example.com/ci/`.
The GitLab CI should also work when using the previous address, redirecting you to the GitLab CE/EE.
If you visit the old GitLab CI address, you should be redirected to the new one.
