I've detected some errors with my installation, so I need to rebuild everything. It would take a couple of days, I'm a busy man at this moment.
Thanks to people who is already registered (but they can't activate their accounts). Service will be on soon! #mastodonhispano
If anyone knows how to backup a docker database, It would be nice!
@jsalvador backup scenes for docket containers are many and varied as for servers. If you don't mind taking your instance down periodically it can be as simple as copying you're db files on the host. If you want to keep the installer up it gets more complicated...
@Kryten I need to rebuild everything, so I don't mind taking the instance down for a while.
DB files seems like a bunch of migration instructions. I don't see anything about content of database :(
@jsalvador First, let me say I haven't looked at the mastodon code, so I don't know much about it. But in general, the migrations are instructions to the database to set up the tables the way the application wants them. The users will then fill in those tables with their user information, toots, etc. That's the stuff you want to back up - the migrations let you rebuild an empty database at any time, but the data is what's important.
@Kryten Reading the Mastodon's docs, I've found another solution, but I don't like it... Dumping the database with pghero (implemented at docker container, I guess).
So I need to backup both: migrations and dump files. Anyway, thanks for your help! It was very useful!
