Hi, in trying to upgrade from Gitlab Omnibus 8.12.13 to 9.5.8, Gitlab seems to have lost all my projects, groups etc. Furthermore, when I try to restore from the backup it created they are missing there too! During the upgrade, I ran into some issues with regard to postgres missing pg_trm or somesuch. I managed to get gitlab to start ok, but when I ran gitlab check it has a line saying “hooks directories in repos are links: … can’t check, you have no projects”. What I’m really worried about is that it also gives me that after rolling back and my gitlab install appears to be empty! It’s as if all the database content has disappeared.
Here is the info for the backup I just rolled back to:
