How to check the version of GitLab?

Question

How to check which version of GitLab is installed on the server?

I am about version specified in GitLab changelog:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/b

Answer 1

You can view GitLab's version at: https://your.domain.name/help

Or via terminal: gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info

Answer 2

The easiest way is to paste the following command:

cat /opt/gitlab/version-manifest.txt | head -n 1

and there you get the version installed. :)

Answer 3

cd /opt/gitlab

cat version-manifest.txt

Example:

gitlab-ctl 6.8.2-omnibus
gitlab-rails v6.8.2

Current gitlab version is 6.8.2

Answer 4

If you are an admin and if you want to see the Gitlab version (and more you didn't know about) click on the wrench/admin menu icon and under Components you can see a lot , especially if you are using Omnibus.

Answer 5

I have Version: 12.2.0-ee and I tried the URL via (https://yourgitlab/help ) but I have not got this information. In the other hand I got this with gitlab-rake with success into the command line:

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info

... GitLab information Version: 12.2.0-ee ...

Answer 6

It can be retrieved using REST, see Version API :

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/version

For authentication see Personal access tokens documentation.
