Backup and Restore for GitFlic Running with Docker Compose

Backup Procedure

To maintain data consistency, it's recommended to stop the GitFlic service before backup.

• Run docker volume ls to identify volumes containing GitFlic data:

  docker volume ls -q | grep -e gitflic_data -e gitflic_cert -e pg_data -e redis_data -e gitflic_etc  
  

  # Sample output:  
  docker_gitflic_data  
  docker_gitflic_etc  
  docker_pg_data  
  docker_redis_data  
  gitflic_cert  
  

  • gitflic_data volume stores GitFlic application data
  • gitflic_etc volume stores GitFlic configuration
  • gitflic_cert volume stores certificates
  • pg_data volume stores PostgreSQL database
  • redis_data volume stores Redis database

• Execute backup commands (replace volume names with your actual values):

  PG_VOL=docker_pg_data  
  REDIS_VOL=docker_redis_data  
  GF_VOL=docker_gitflic_data  
  GF_ETC_VOL=docker_gitflic_etc  
  GF_CERT_VOL=gitflic_cert  
  
  docker run --rm -v ${PG_VOL}:/pg_data -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -cvf /backups/pg_data.tar -C /pg_data .  
  docker run --rm -v ${REDIS_VOL}:/redis_data -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -cvf /backups/redis_data.tar -C /redis_data .  
  docker run --rm -v ${GF_VOL}:/gitflic_data -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -cvf /backups/gitflic_data.tar -C /gitflic_data .  
  docker run --rm -v ${GF_ETC_VOL}:/gitflic_etc -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -cvf /backups/gitflic_etc.tar -C /gitflic_etc .  
  docker run --rm -v ${GF_CERT_VOL}:/gitflic_cert -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -cvf /backups/gitflic_cert.tar -C /gitflic_cert .  
  

• A backups directory will be created containing GitFlic data archives. Store these files in your storage system for future recovery.

Restore Procedure

• Stop the GitFlic service

• Identify volumes (same as backup procedure):

  docker volume ls -q | grep -e gitflic_data -e gitflic_cert -e pg_data -e redis_data -e gitflic_etc  
  

• Navigate to the directory containing your backup archives

• Execute restore commands (replace volume names with your actual values):

  PG_VOL=docker_pg_data  
  REDIS_VOL=docker_redis_data  
  GF_VOL=docker_gitflic_data  
  GF_ETC_VOL=docker_gitflic_etc  
  GF_CERT_VOL=gitflic_cert  
  
  docker run --rm -v ${PG_VOL}:/pg_data -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -xvf /backups/pg_data.tar -C /pg_data .  
  docker run --rm -v ${REDIS_VOL}:/redis_data -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -xvf /backups/redis_data.tar -C /redis_data .  
  docker run --rm -v ${GF_VOL}:/gitflic_data -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -xvf /backups/gitflic_data.tar -C /gitflic_data .  
  docker run --rm -v ${GF_ETC_VOL}:/gitflic_etc -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -xvf /backups/gitflic_etc.tar -C /gitflic_etc .  
  docker run --rm -v ${GF_CERT_VOL}:/gitflic_cert -v ./backups:/backups alpine tar -xvf /backups/gitflic_cert.tar -C /gitflic_cert .  
  

• Data will be restored from the backup archives

• Start GitFlic and verify data integrity
