Failing to upgrade gitlab from 18.1 to 18.3

[GaelG]

What app is this about, and its version: Gitlab
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.23
What type of hardware are you using: Old laptop or computer

Describe your issue

Hello everyone,

All is the title, I cannot upgrade my gitlab instance, even though I was able to upgrade all other packages and the yunohost distrib.

From what I see in the log, gitlab needs to be upgrade to an intermediate version 18.2 before going to 18.3, but I am not really sure how to do that.

Is someone had the same problem and fixed it ?

Thank you,

I was not able to share the log link in the post, because of the message “An error occurred: Sorry, new users can’t put links in posts.”

The log states you need to do an intermediate upgrade to 18.2 first, the command would be

sudo yunohost app upgrade gitlab -u https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/gitlab_ynh/tree/6ca22f2b529b511a903055ac13ecd7b81a02efe9

the url points to 18.2.1 release, not sure why it’s untagged
