Backup

The following commands should be valid for every setup (docker/debian/sqlite/postgres).

1. Move to gancio path

   cd /opt/gancio/ # or where your installation is
   

2. Backup PostgreSQL (only required for non-docker PostgreSQL installation)

   sudo -u postgres pg_dump -Fc gancio > gancio.dump
   

3. Archive database, configuration, custom user locales, logs, images and thumbnails

   sudo tar -czf gancio-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S)-backup.tgz  \
     $(ls -d config.json uploads user_locale db.sqlite gancio.dump postgres data db logs 2> /dev/null)
   

Automatic backup

To periodically backup your data you should probably use something like restic or borg

Restore

1. Install a clean gancio
2. Move to gancio path

   cd /opt/gancio/ # or where your installation is
   

3. Extract your backup

   tar xvf gancio-*-backup.tgz
   

4. Restore PostgreSQL database (only required for non-docker PostgreSQL installation)

   sudo -u postgres createdb gancio
   sudo -u postgres pg_restore -d gancio gancio.dump
