When restore a gitea instance, everything works for me, execept for the build-in wiki when the paths of gitea binary and location of app.ini changed.
Because all repositories with a wiki in-use have pre-, updateand post-receive hooks with hardcoded path for gitea binary and app.ini.
Luckily this can be fixed with the power of grep and sed

when the former location of gitea binary was /home/olduser/gitea/gitea and is now /app/gitea/gitea

grep -rl '/home/olduser/gitea/gitea' gitea-repositories/* | while read filename; do 
    sed -i 's,/home/olduser/gitea/gitea,/app/gitea/gitea,g' "$filename"; 
done

and for the former location of /home/olduser/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini, which is now /data/gitea/conf/app.ini

grep -rl '/home/olduser/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini' gitea-repositories/* | while read filename; do 
    sed -i 's,/home/olduser/gitea/custom/conf/app.ini,/data/gitea/conf/app.ini,g' "$filename"; 
done

Maybe this someone runs into the same trouble...and maybe this should be added (in some form) to the restore documentation? What do you think?

When restore a gitea instance, everything works for me, execept for the build-in wiki when the paths of `gitea` binary and location of `app.ini` changed.

Please feel free to open PR adding this to the restore documentation. This already exists on the troubleshooting page.

I will now close this issue.
