Backups¶
Krash Seed¶
By competely containerizing charlesreid1.com, all of the static files for running programs come from docker container images, and all configuration files come from git repositories under version control at git.charlesreid1.com/docker.
That just leaves the core data for each service, which is what the backup and restore scripts handle. This service data consists of the following:
- MediaWiki MySQL database dump (.sql)
- MediaWiki images directory (.tar.gz)
- Gitea repository dump (.zip)
- Gitea avatar images (.zip)
These four files form a "krash seed" for charlesreid1.com.
MySQL Backup/Restore Scripts¶
To create a MySQL backup, use the utils-mysql/dump_database.sh script.
dump_database.sh script:
Dump a database to an .sql file
from the stormy_mysql container.
./dump_database.sh <sql-dump-file>
Example:
./dump_database.sh /path/to/wikidb_dump.sql
MediaWiki Backup/Restore Scripts¶
backup_wikifiles.sh script:
Create a tar file containing wiki files
from the stormy_mw container
./backup_wikifiles.sh <tar-file>
Example:
./backup_wikifiles.sh /path/to/wikifiles.tar.gz
Gitea Backup/Restore Scripts¶
