Backup problems

Hi!

My bad VPS provider bloced my server and give me permission to copy my filesystem. I can use only rsync. I want install gitlab from apt on my new server and replace all files. What are you think about tis idea? Maybe someone has a list of files that I need to replace? Someone help?

PS. If someone is Polish let avoids servers from sldc.eu

Ok i have solution for this problem.

First You must copy to new server /var/opt/gitlab <–posgresql and others data files
The next step is install gitlab, I using debian well : apt install gitlab-ce
The third step is copy your gitlab.rb oraz secret. The best way is: rm -rf /etc/gitlab and copy this catalog from old server
And finally you must do gitlab-ctl reconfigure
Should be work.
