SOLECTRUS Backup & Restore

This repository contains scripts to backup and restore both PostgreSQL and InfluxDB databases for a SOLECTRUS installation. The following scripts are provided:

backup.sh

The backup.sh script creates backups of both PostgreSQL and InfluxDB databases and combines them into a single compressed file. It is designed specifically for use within a SOLECTRUS setup, ensuring consistent backups of the required services.

How it works:

• A PostgreSQL backup is created using pg_dumpall and compressed with gzip.
• An InfluxDB backup is created using the influx backup command.
• Both backups are combined into a single tar.gz file named solectrus-backup-<DATE>.tar.gz.

Usage:

./backup.sh

The backup file will be saved in the current directory with the format solectrus-backup-<DATE>.tar.gz, where <DATE> is the current date.

restore.sh

The restore.sh script restores both PostgreSQL and InfluxDB databases from a previously created backup file. It ensures that only PostgreSQL and InfluxDB containers are running during the restore process to prevent any conflicts.

How it works:

• It checks for the presence of a valid .env file and a valid Docker Compose configuration using docker compose config.
• It extracts the combined backup file and restores the databases.
• The PostgreSQL database is restored using psql, and the InfluxDB database is restored using the influx restore command.
• It stops all other containers except PostgreSQL and InfluxDB during the restore process.

Usage:

./restore.sh <DATE>

You need to provide the date of the backup as a parameter, e.g.:

./restore.sh 2024-10-06

The script will then restore the backup from solectrus-backup-2024-10-06.tar.gz.

Requirements:

• Valid SOLECTRUS installation (including both PostgreSQL and InfluxDB services)
• Docker Compose configuration file (e.g., docker-compose.yml or compose.yaml)
• .env file with necessary environment variables for InfluxDB

With these scripts, you can easily manage the backup and restore processes for PostgreSQL and InfluxDB databases in your SOLECTRUS setup.

Download and Installation

To use the scripts, you can download them directly into your SOLECTRUS installation directory:

# Change to your SOLECTRUS installation directory
