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.

|
|
|

2018-01-08 17:48:42 -05:00
|
|
|
Switch to the user running gitea: `su git`. Run `./gitea dump` in the gitea installation
|
|
|
|
|
directory. There should be some output similar to the following:
|

|
|

|
|
|
Inside the `gitea-dump-1482906742.zip` file, will be the following:

|
|
|
|
|
* `gitea-db.sql` - SQL dump of database
|
|
|
|
|
* `gitea-repo.zip` - Complete copy of the repository directory.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
`--tempdir` command-line parameter or the `TMPDIR` environment variable.

## Restore Command (`restore`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-01-08 17:48:42 -05:00
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
apt-get install gitea
|
|
|
|
|
unzip gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
|
|
|
|
|
cd gitea-dump-1482906742
|
|
|
|
|
mv custom/conf/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 -u$USER -p$PASS $DATABASE <gitea-db.sql
|
|
|
|
|
# or sqlite3 $DATABASE_PATH <gitea-db.sql
|
|
|
|
|
service gitea restart
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
