NB: Ensure that both servers are running IDENTICAL versions of GitLab before you carry out this procedure. You can confirm this by checking the output of sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info on both servers or by visiting the admin page on both servers.

  • Create a backup of your GitLab installation in your old server
  • Transfer this backup to the new GitLab server
  • Restore GitLab on the new server using the backup

Backup and Restore steps are covered on the documentation: http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/raketasks/backup_restore.html
