GitLab CE: How to upgrade

I recently installed GitLib-CE (specifically version 14.1.2) on Ubuntu 22.04. I was running through software updates and an upgrade to GitLab failed:

Preparing to unpack .../gitlab-ce_15.5.2-ce.0_amd64.deb ... gitlab preinstall: It seems you are upgrading from major version 14 to major version 15. gitlab preinstall: It is required to upgrade to the latest 15.0.x version first before proceeding. gitlab preinstall: Please follow the upgrade documentation at https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/index.html#upgrade-paths

After reading the documentation on upgrading, https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/index.html#upgrade-paths, it appears major upgrades require a specific path. Since I am on 14.1.2, it appears I need to first upgrade to 14.3.6:

8.11.Z -> 8.12.0 -> 8.17.7 -> 9.5.10 -> 10.8.7 -> 11.11.8 -> 12.0.12 -> 12.1.17 -> 12.10.14 -> 13.0.14 -> 13.1.11 -> 13.8.8 -> 13.12.15 -> 14.0.12 -> 14.3.6 -> 14.9.5 -> 14.10.Z -> 15.0.Z -> 15.4.0 -> latest 15.Y.Z

Based upon the instructions here: https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/packages/ubuntu/focal/gitlab-ce_14.3.6-ce.0_arm64.deb

I first ran:

curl -s https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ce/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

Then I ran:

sudo apt-get install gitlab-ce=14.3.6-ce.0

And I get this result:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Package gitlab-ce is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: gitlab-ee

E: Version '14.3.6-ce.0' for 'gitlab-ce' was not found

If I run this command:

sudo apt show gitlab-ce -a It appears the only packages are 14.1.2 (installed), 15.5.0, 15.5.1, and 15.5.2. So do I just need to get the following packages in the package repository: 14.3.6 -> 14.9.5 -> 14.10.Z -> 15.0.Z -> 15.4.0 -> latest 15.Y.Z

If so, how do I get these packages in my package repository? If not, what am I doing wrong here?

I solved the problem by doing a manual update. First I downloaded it with wget.

wget --content-disposition https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/packages/ubuntu/bionic/gitlab-ce_12.10.5-ce.0_amd64.deb/download.deb
dpkg -i gitlab-ce_12.10.5-ce.0_amd64.deb

then I installed it with dkpg.(don't forget to do a minor version upgrade when upgrading).

dpkg -i gitlab-ce_16.3.3-ce.0_amd64.deb

For anyone running into the same challenge.

I ended up downloading the deb packages and installing them manually.

Downloaded from here: https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce

Followed the upgrade path here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/index.html#upgrade-paths

Installed deb packages one at a time using gdebi.

I am now on 15.5.2 and everything seems to be checking out OK.
