Update

To upgrade GitLab that was installed using Docker Compose:

Take a backup. As a minimum, back up the database and the GitLab secrets file.

docker exec -t <container name> gitlab-backup create

As a minimum, back up the database and the GitLab secrets file.

docker exec -t <container name> gitlab-backup create SKIP=artifacts,repositories,registry,uploads,builds,pages,lfs,packages,terraform_state

Download the newest release and upgrade your GitLab instance:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

If you have used tags instead, you'll need to first edit docker-compose.yml.
