-I do not use the default Let's Encrypt tool in ''gitlab.rb'' because it fails.  I work around this issue by building a basic ''.html'' website first, encrypting that, and then changing the configs to reverse proxies specified above.  See the Apache Survival link above for more information.
+I do not use the default Let's Encrypt tool in ''gitlab.rb'' because it fails.  I work around this issue by building a basic ''.html'' website first, encrypting that, and then changing the configs to reverse proxies specified above.  Need to migrate your gitlab-ce instance to a new host?  First, prepare the backups and configs on the old host and copy those the new host.

+Now that you have copied those configs and files over the new host, it is time to restore the new host with those backups.  Warning:  I am assuming you already followed the above initial setup steps on the new host that are detailed above, and have left that instance vanilla.  Once that new install is running and accessible and vanilla (no changes), do the following.

+Navigate to your web browser, and all should be restored.  ;)
