quick-gitlab-restore

A simple script to automate restoring a GitLab Backup tar file into a new instance.

• open port 80 for LetsEncrypt. if you're using it
• script assumes you want to rebuild tables from scratch, if not, change force=yes to force=no

#set these environment variables first
SECRETS_PATH="<path to gitlab-secrets.json>" && \
INSTANCE_NAME="<gitlab container name>" && \
TAR_PATH="<path to backup tar file>"

#wait for container status to be healthy before running...


docker exec -it $INSTANCE_NAME gitlab-ctl reconfigure && \
docker exec -it $INSTANCE_NAME gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true && \
