Gitlab: Force non-interactive restore from backups?

Question

Is there a way to force a 'yes' to the question:

This will rebuild an authorized_keys file.
You will lose any data stored in authorized_keys file.
Do you want to continue (yes/no)?

When trying to restore from backups? I create a backup on server A, copy to my mirror on Server B and want to restore via a script on a cronjob.

I am running

Gitlab 6.2
GitLab Shell version >= 1.7.4 ? ... OK (1.7.9)

Answer 1

With this syntax should work:

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:restore BACKUP=<BACKUP_ID> force=yes

Answer 2

Yes; set the environment variable force to yes for the rake process.

Answer 3

Similar to both Ash Wilson's and Andrés Cuadros Suárez's answers, I found the following also works (prepend with sudo if required)

gitlab-backup restore force=yes
