Gitlab docker 备份和恢复

Question

I am using GitLab via docker on an intranet disconnected from the internet. I run GitLab docker using docker-compose following yml file.

web:
    image: 'gitlab/gitlab-ee:latest'
    restart: always
    hostname: 'myowngit.com'
    ports:
        - 8880:80
        - 8443:443
    volumes:
        - /srv/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab
        - /srv/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab
        - /srv/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab

Then free space of 'volumes' is not enough so i move this path to '/mnt/mydata'. And I modify docker-compose.yml file.

... ... ...
    volumes:
        - /mnt/mydata/gitlab/config:/etc/gitlab
        - /mnt/mydata/gitlab/logs:/var/log/gitlab
        - /mnt/mydata/gitlab/data:/var/opt/gitlab

To start GitLab service run sudo docker-compose up -d . After running the GitLab service I try to explore the project repository but the repository is not found(HTTP response 404 or 503). What is the reason? How to move GitLab docker volume directory?

Answer 1

It should work unless, as shown in docker-gitlab issue 562 , to move was done with a different ownership

It should be okay to move the files from /data1/data to /data2/data , you should take a little care while copying the files to the new location. ie either of these should be fine

cp -a /data1/data /data2/data rsync --progress -av /data1/data /data2/data

Simply doing cp -r /data1/data /data2/data will not preserve the ownership of the files which will cause issues.
