Mattermost Upgrade Guide

Upgrading Mattermost in GitLab 8.0 to GitLab 8.1 with omnibus

Mattermost 0.7.1-beta in GitLab 8.0 was a pre-release of Mattermost and Mattermost v1.1.1 in GitLab 8.1 was updated significantly to get to a stable, forwards-compatible platform for Mattermost.

The Mattermost team didn't think it made sense for GitLab omnibus to attempt an automated re-configuration of Mattermost (since 0.7.1-beta was a pre-release) given the scale of change, so we're providing instructions for GitLab users who have customized their Mattermost deployments in 8.0 to move to 8.1:

  1. Follow the Upgrading Mattermost v0.7.1-beta to v1.1.1 instructions below to identify the settings in Mattermost's config.json file that differ from defaults and need to be updated from GitLab 8.0 to 8.1.
  2. Upgrade to GitLab 8.1 using omnibus, and allowing it overwrite config.json to the new Mattermost v1.1.1 format
  3. Manually update config.json to new settings identified in Step 1.

Optionally, you can use the new System Console user interface to make changes to your new config.json file.

Upgrading Mattermost v0.7.1-beta to v1.1.1

Note: Mattermost v1.1.1 is a special release of Mattermost v1.1 that upgrades the database to Mattermost v1.1 from EITHER Mattermost v0.7 or Mattermost v1.0. The following instructions are for upgrading from Mattermost v0.7.1-beta to v1.1.1 and skipping the upgrade to Mattermost v1.0.

If you've manually changed Mattermost v0.7.1-beta configuration by updating the config.json file, you'll need to port those changes to Mattermost v1.1.1:

  1. Go to the config.json file that you manually updated and note any differences from the default config.json file in Mattermost 0.7.

  2. For each setting that you changed, check the changelog documentation on whether the configuration setting has changed between v0.7 and v1.1.1

  3. Update your new config.json file in Mattermost v1.1, based on your preferences and the changelog documentation above.

Optionally, you can use the new System Console user interface to make changes to your new config.json file.
