Is it possible in Gitlab to copy or import one bare repo to another bare repo?

We use Gitlab in our project and we are planning to decommission the VM where our current GItlab is hosted and to move on to a different VM.

Is it possible to copy or duplicate the exact current set-up into our new VM along with its branches, tags and history? if so, could you pls. help me on the same.
Thanks !

Yes, it is possible. This is what we did in our migration:

1.- In the new VM, clone the repo from the old VM. cd /home/git/repositories/[your-namespace]/ git clone --bare git@old-git-vm:namespace/repo.git

2.- chown -R git:git repo.git chmod 770 repo.git

3.- Import repos to Gitlab sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production
