Backups of miniflux.adyxax.org
Tag: UpdateNeeded
Documentation
Backups are configured with borg on myth.adyxax.org
and end up on gcp.adyxax.org
.
There is only one jobs :
- a pg_dump of miniflux’s postgresql database
How to restore
The first step is to deploy miniflux to the destination server, then I need to login with ssh and manually restore the data.
make run host=myth.adyxax.org
The container will be failing because no password is set on the database user yet, so stop it:
systemctl stop podman-miniflux
There is only one backup job for miniflux. It contains a dump of the database:
export BORG_RSH="ssh -i /etc/borg-miniflux-db.key"
borg list ssh://borg@gcp.adyxax.org/srv/borg/miniflux-db
borg extract ssh://borg@gcp.adyxax.org/srv/borg/miniflux-db::dalinar-miniflux-db-2023-11-20T00:00:01
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d miniflux
Restoring the data itself is done with the psql shell:
ALTER USER miniflux WITH PASSWORD 'XXXXXX';
\i tmp/miniflux.sql
Afterwards clean up the database dump and restart miniflux:
rm -rf tmp/
systemctl start podman-miniflux
To wrap this up, migrate the DNS records to the new host and update the monitoring system.
