# From Community Edition 8.17 to Enterprise Edition 8.17
This guide assumes you have a correctly configured and tested installation of
GitLab Community Edition 8.17. If you run into any trouble or if you have any
questions please contact us at [support@gitlab.com].
### 0. Backup
Make a backup just in case something goes wrong:
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
```
For installations using MySQL, this may require granting "LOCK TABLES"
privileges to the GitLab user on the database version.
### 1. Stop server
sudo service gitlab stop
### 2. Get the EE code
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git remote add -f ee https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee.git
sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-17-stable-ee
```
### 3. Install libs, migrations, etc.
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
# Run database migrations
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
# Clean up assets and cache
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:clean assets:precompile cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
```
### 4. Start application
sudo service gitlab start
sudo service nginx restart
### 5. Check application status
Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
If all items are green, then congratulations upgrade complete!
## Things went south? Revert to previous version (Community Edition 8.17)
### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H git checkout 8-17-stable
```
### 2. Restore from the backup
```bash
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
```
