Problem to solve

Describe your question in as much detail as possible:

What went wrong in the backup restoration process?
I had an issue with my proxmox node. I was able to grab a full backup with

sudo gitlab-backup create

I followed the restore process from Restore GitLab | GitLab

So the gitlab server started up successfully after I started up with the copied over gitlab.rb and gitlab-secrets.json

Then I noticed that when I signed in my profile picture was missing.
Then when looking at the code bases I keep seeing this
