Restore from old files
Created by: mcmonkey4eva
I have a dead old machine with no recent enough backups available, and a new machine running an empty gitlab instance - how do I restore my Gitlab users, repositories, and hopefully comments/issues/etc. though that last bit isn't really required.
In theory, it's just a matter of copying over the correct files... but I imagine it's going to be a bit more complicated.
(Note: I have the full original harddrive, just... no way to boot it at the moment. Worst case scenario is I might be able to attach to a different machine in a week or so, and then perform a backup from that and transfer that over?)
