Backup and Restore

caution

Stop your Annolive server before backing up or restoring configuration.

Stop the server​

docker compose -f /opt/annolive/docker-compose.yml down

Backup data​

Data and configuration files are stored under /opt/annolive/, including .env, PostgreSQL data, RabbitMQ data, media, and static files. Archive everything into ~/annolive_backup_data.tgz:

cd /opt/annolive/
sudo tar czvf ~/annolive_backup_data.tgz .

Restore data​

Replace any existing data with the backup:

sudo rm -rf /opt/annolive/
sudo mkdir -p /opt/annolive/
sudo tar -xzf ~/annolive_backup_data.tgz -C /opt/annolive
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/annolive

Start Annolive again:

docker compose -f /opt/annolive/docker-compose.yml up -d

Do not re-run setup.py when restoring an existing installation.
