In the case of CI/CD, if your project has secure variables set, you might experience
some weird behavior, like stuck jobs or 500 errors. In that case, you can try
deleting the `ci_variables` table from the database.
The secrets file is also responsible for storing the encryption key for several
columns containing sensitive information. If the key is lost, GitLab will be
unable to decrypt those columns. This will break a wide range of functionality,
including (but not restricted to):

You should now be able to visit your project, and the jobs will start
running again.
A similar strategy can be employed for the remaining features - by removing the
data that cannot be decrypted, GitLab can be brought back into working order,
and the lost data can be manually replaced.
