Upgrading paths support (version 12.x -> 14.x)

[marksagal]

I have trouble upgrading from 12.x to 14.x because some of the versions from the upgrade-paths were missing. will there be a chance to add the missing versions from upgrade-paths so I can properly upgrade gitlab?

I did use all the intermediate versions, and it worked well.

At one point I had to wait https://git.indie.host/admin/background_migrations to be empty.

Good luck!

I try to update from 11.11.0 to 13.10.x,
first i change the postgres version, because of gitlab 13 need postgres 11, also change the redis version to 6.x.
before update gitlab watch this step about postgres
then update gitlab.
My path is 11.11.0 -> 12.0.4 -> 12.1.3 -> 12.2.3 -> 12.10.4 -> 13.0.6 -> 13.2.6 -> 13.10.2 -> 14.0.6 -> 14.2.5
It work for me.
image:
redis: redis:6.2.1
postgresql: sameersbn/postgresql:12-20200524
gitlab: sameersbn/gitlab:14.2.5

Thanks @106062. However, I would be more comfortable if the official upgrade path were possible with this docker image...

See instructions here for building images which are missing from registries in order to upgrade properly:
