Backup and Restore Appwrite, the lazy way 🐌
# Make sure to stop Appwrite before this backup,
# and make sure you have enough space on the machine.
# After backing up, make sure there is a file in 'backups/backup-___.tar.gz'.
# Also please check size of this file, it should be at least 5kb, even for small instances.

# Make sure the Appwrite did NOT run on this server previously,
# and make sure to stop it before this restore.
# If appwrite ran here already, make sure to
# stop Appwrite with 'docker-compose down -v', and ideally
# also remove appwrite folder.
# Before running, be in any directory,
# but make sure 'backup.tar.gz' file with your backup is in there.
# Whichever directory you are in, this script will create 'appwrite'
# folder in here, with a configuration from backup.
# Backup script puts date in the file name, make sure to
# rename file to exactly 'backup.tar.gz'.
# After restore, you can enter appwite folder 'cd appwrite'
# and start Appwrite with 'docker-compose up -d'.
# Untar backup
tar -C /tmp -xvf backup.tar.gz
# Restore volumes and configuration
