    What am I trying to do? Something similar to:
    https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/5704/gitlab-how-to-restore-migrate-a-non-cloudron-gitlab

    But I need to migrate the Cloudron Gitlab away to a dedicated Server due to resource issues and customer wishes.

    Error:

    Good catch! The gitaly-backup binary's path changed recently. The config has to be fixed.

    -    gitaly_backup_path: /home/git/gitaly/gitaly-backup
    +    gitaly_backup_path: /home/git/gitaly/bin/gitaly-backup
    

    I am making a new package. For existing packages, just change the path in /app/data/gitlab.yml as above.

    Hi @BrutalBirdie,

    https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/raketasks/backup_restore.html#gitaly-backup-for-repository-backup-and-restore

    speaks about specifying the option directly in one of the ruby files, did you try that out as well already?

    @fbartels did not try that but also what's the point when he also can't find the binary as well.

    @BrutalBirdie in the past I had to adjust $PATH for a few things within the Cloudron app container, so I thought that may be the case here as well.

    In general gitaly-backup can be found in the container I assume?

    @fbartels

    @fbartels said in Gitlab App - Can't create backup within the app:

    In general gitaly-backup can be found in the container I assume?

    I am not sure what exactly you mean to be found. The config variable or the file?
    Will tinker around a bit.

    eh what?
    Now if I configure the gitaly_backup_path: "/app/data/gitaly_backups" and restart the app I get this error.

    But the permissions for that folder are for the user git and even 777

    @BrutalBirdie the way i am reading the documentation gitaly-backup is a "binary"/executable, not the path the backup is written to.
