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:
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:
custom
- All config or customerize files incustom/
.data
- Data directory in <GITEA_WORK_DIR>, except sessions if you are using file session. This directory includesattachments
,avatars
,lfs
,indexers
, sqlite file if you are using sqlite.gitea-db.sql
- SQL dump of databasegitea-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.
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:
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
