When running the dump command, include the specific configuration file provided as part of the backup. Currently we only zip up custom/ and this misses the config file if it is somewhere else, like /etc/gitea/app.ini Fixes #6034

# Backup and Restore
|
|
|
|
Gitea currently has a `dump` command that will save the installation to a zip file. This
|
|
file can be unpacked and used to restore an instance.
|
|
|
|
## Backup Command (`dump`)
|
|
|
|
Switch to the user running gitea: `su git`. Run `./gitea dump -c /path/to/app.ini` in the gitea installation
|
|
directory. There should be some output similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
2016/12/27 22:32:09 Creating tmp work dir: /tmp/gitea-dump-417443001
|
|
2016/12/27 22:32:09 Dumping local repositories.../home/git/gitea-repositories
|
|
2016/12/27 22:32:22 Dumping database...
|
|
2016/12/27 22:32:22 Packing dump files...
|
|
2016/12/27 22:32:34 Removing tmp work dir: /tmp/gitea-dump-417443001
|
|
2016/12/27 22:32:34 Finish dumping in file gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inside the `gitea-dump-1482906742.zip` file, will be the following:
|
|
|
|
* `app.ini` - Optional copy of configuration file if originally stored outside of the default `custom/` directory
|
|
* `custom` - All config or customerize files in `custom/`.
|
|
* `data` - Data directory in <GITEA_WORK_DIR>, except sessions if you are using file session. This directory includes `attachments`, `avatars`, `lfs`, `indexers`, sqlite file if you are using sqlite.
|
|
* `gitea-db.sql` - SQL dump of database
|
|
* `gitea-repo.zip` - Complete copy of the repository directory.
|
|
* `log/` - Various logs. They are not needed for a recovery or migration.
|
|
|
|
Intermediate backup files are created in a temporary directory specified either with the
|
|
`--tempdir` command-line parameter or the `TMPDIR` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
## Restore Command (`restore`)
|
|
|
|
There is currently no support for a recovery command. It is a manual process that mostly
|
|
involves moving files to their correct locations and restoring a database dump.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install gitea
|
|
unzip gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
|
|
cd gitea-dump-1482906742
|
|
mv custom/conf/app.ini /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini # or mv app.ini /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini
|
|
unzip gitea-repo.zip
|
|
mv gitea-repo/* /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
|
|
chown -R gitea:gitea /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
|
|
mysql -u$USER -p$PASS $DATABASE <gitea-db.sql
|
|
# or sqlite3 $DATABASE_PATH <gitea-db.sql
|
|
service gitea restart
|
|
```
