Description

My entire gitlab server is hosted.

I am using Sameersbn/docker-gitlab:8.2.3 though Synoloyg NAS. After upgrading their DSM to 6.0, gitlab filed to start. I decided to backup the gitlab directory (with the repositories, backups, etc.). Then I removed the Gitlab docker image and tried to reinstall. That failed too and is still failing.

I want to big up sameersbn/docker-gitlab:8.2.3 on a linux box with external mysql server and redis container. Oh, the mysql db for gitlab was deleted by Synology when I used the package manager to remove gitlab.

With the back up files, can i restore my gitlab to the way it was before using a clean setup on another server?

I would greatly appreciate some urgent help on this matter. Developers are unable to commit and share.

Thanks.

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reviewing the backed-up GitLab directory and the docker-gitlab:8.2.3 setup, including the external MySQL database and Redis container. Done would mean determining whether the backup can restore the service on a clean Linux host.
