The good news for some of this is that the environment variables for automating the commissioning steps function in the base platform as well as the Docker images. The environment variables you need are `ACCEPT_IGNITION_EULA`, `GATEWAY_ADMIN_PASSWORD`, and possibly `IGNITION_EDITION`. More details [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Docker+Image#DockerImage-AutomatetheCommissioningofaFreshGateway), although like I mentioned, you can supply these particular environment variables to a regular installation of Ignition too..

EDIT: I should also mention for clarity that if you do the above combined with restoring your GWBK (with the skip-gateway-contact option, documented [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Command-line+Utility+-+gwcmd#GatewayCommandlineUtilitygwcmd-Command-lineUtility'gwcmd'Options)), it should skip commissioning and restore your gateway backup, all in one shot.
