Hi,
I’m running a gitlab instance from a backup (within docker) and I want to move the 2 projects I have on there to a new instance.
I wante to do this via export, and then re-import into new instance.
I then saw that the export function was missing and when I turn on the functionality as an admin, I get the 500 internal server error
here’ the gitlab-ctl tail when the issue arises:

gitlab-rake gitlab:check --trace returns all OK and YES
From the upper error trace, I gather that there’s a problem with OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError () ?
I tried to fix this error with the solution shown here (GitLab error OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError () in app/controllers/admin/application_settings_controller.rb:40:in `update' · GitHub) but that made my system inaccessible (error: gotlab is taking too long to respond - container unhealthy)
I have now restored the initital bakcup again and I’mwondering how to fix this issue.
Is there any other way I can backup a project to move to anew gitlab instance?
