+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### show:secrets problem (Omnibus-only)
+If you see errors like this:
+```
+Missing `secret_key_base` or `db_key_base` for 'production' environment. The secrets will be generated and stored in `config/secrets.yml`
+rake aborted!
+Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - config/secrets.yml
+```
+
+This can happen if you are updating from versions prior to 7.13 straight to 8.0.
+The fix for this is to update to Omnibus 7.14 first and then update it to 8.0.
+
+#### Permission denied when accessing /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds
+To fix that issue you have to change builds/ folder permission before doing final backup:
+```
+chown -R gitlab-ci:gitlab-ci /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds
+```
+
+#### Problems when importing CI database to GitLab
+If you were migrating CI database from MySQL to PostgreSQL manually you can see errros during import about missing sequences:
+```
+ALTER SEQUENCE
+ERROR:  relation "ci_builds_id_seq" does not exist
+ERROR:  relation "ci_commits_id_seq" does not exist
