version: on prem Gitlab Omnibus free edition on latest version
Hi,
I’m doing automated daily backups which I daily transfer off the server (also automated):
/opt/gitlab/bin/gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create STRATEGY=copy CRON=1
Whenever I upgrade Gitlab, I notice a warning saying:
“Warning: your gitlab.rb and gitlab-secrets.json files contain sensitive data and are not included in this backup. You will need these files to restore a backup. Please back them up manually.”
While this warning only shows during upgrade I was wondering if this message is applicable to my own daily backups too? If yes, than I should probably implement a mechanism to daily copy and transfer these files of the server too…correct?
edit: nvm I think I found my answer in Redirecting... (Storing configuration files)
