# 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:
|
|
|
|
```none
|
|
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 customization 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.
|
|
|
|
### Using Docker (`dump`)
|
|
|
|
There are a few caveats for using the `dump` command with Docker.
|
|
|
|
The command has to be executed with the `RUN_USER = <OS_USERNAME>` specified in `gitea/conf/app.ini`; and, for the zipping of the backup folder to occur without permission error the command `docker exec` must be executed inside of the `--tempdir`.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```none
|
|
docker exec -u <OS_USERNAME> -it -w <--tempdir> $(docker ps -qf "name=<NAME_OF_DOCKER_CONTAINER>") bash -c '/app/gitea/gitea dump -c </path/to/app.ini>'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
\*Note: `--tempdir` refers to the temporary directory of the docker environment used by Gitea; if you have not specified a custom `--tempdir`, then Gitea uses `/tmp` or the `TMPDIR` environment variable of the docker container. For `--tempdir` adjust your `docker exec` command options accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The result should be a file, stored in the `--tempdir` specified, along the lines of: `gitea-dump-1482906742.zip`
|
|
|
|
## Restore Command (`restore`)
|
|
|
|
There is currently no support for a recovery command. It is a manual process that mostly
|
|
involves moving files to their correct locations and restoring a database dump.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
apt-get install gitea
|
|
unzip gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
|
|
cd gitea-dump-1482906742
|
|
mv custom/conf/app.ini /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini # or mv app.ini /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini
|
|
unzip gitea-repo.zip
|
|
mv gitea-repo/* /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
|
|
chown -R gitea:gitea /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
|
|
mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -u$USER -p$PASS $DATABASE <gitea-db.sql
|
|
# or sqlite3 $DATABASE_PATH <gitea-db.sql
|
|
service gitea restart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Repository git-hooks should be regenerated if installation method is changed (eg. binary -> Docker), or if Gitea is installed to a different directory than the previous installation.
|
|
|
|
With Gitea running, and from the directory Gitea's binary is located, execute: `./gitea admin regenerate hooks`
|
|
|
|
This ensures that application and configuration file paths in repository git-hooks are consistent and applicable to the current installation. If these paths are not updated, repository `push` actions will fail.
