Move GitLab CE docker to another server using backup / restore leads to "permission denied"

Hi all,

since days I try to move my docker hosted GitLab CE to a new docker host.

Therefore I create a backup on the old docker host using GitLab commands.

Then I transfer the backup TAR to the new server.

Then I create a new docker container where I mount all host volumes but an empty “data” folder. The “config” is used from the old server.

Then I restore the backup using GitLab commands.

Then I run several commands to fix permissions:

chown -R root:root /srv/gitlab
setfacl -R -b /srv/gitlab/
setfacl -R -m default:group:docker:rwx /srv/gitlab/
setfacl -R -m group:docker:rwx,default:group:docker:rwx /srv/gitlab/
setfacl -R -m mask::rwx,default:mask::rwx /srv/gitlab

docker exec gitlab update-permissions
docker exec gitlab chown -R gitlab:gitlab /var/opt/gitlab

But I always get this error in the log:

Any ideas ?

Thank you!
