### Container Registry push failures after restoring from a backup
If you use the [Container Registry](../user/project/container_registry.md), you
may see pushes to the registry fail after restoring your backup on an Omnibus
GitLab instance after restoring the registry data.
These failures will mention permission issues in the registry logs, like:
```
level=error
msg="response completed with error"
err.code=unknown
err.detail="filesystem: mkdir /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry/docker/registry/v2/repositories/...: permission denied"
err.message="unknown error"
```
This is caused by the restore being run as the unprivileged user `git` which was
unable to assign the correct ownership to the registry files during the restore
([issue 62759](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/62759 "Incorrect permissions on registry filesystem after restore")).
To get your registry working again:
```bash
sudo chown -R registry:registry /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry/docker
```
NOTE: **Note:**
If you have changed the default filesystem location for the registry, you will
want to run the chown against your custom location instead of
`/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry/docker`.
