Hello,

I successfully used planka in the last month on a my local pc.
I would like to move it now to my server.

This is my docker-compose file. How can I move it to a new server?
Where is the database located?

I run it on a Ubuntu machine.

version: '3.9'

services:

  planka:
    image: meltyshev/planka:latest
    command: >
      bash -c
        "for i in `seq 1 30`; do
          ./start.sh &&
          s=$$? && break || s=$$?;
          echo \"Tried $$i times. Waiting 5 seconds...\";
          sleep 5;
        done; (exit $$s)"
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - user-avatars:/app/public/user-avatars
      - project-background-images:/app/public/project-background-images
      - attachments:/app/public/attachments
    ports:
      - 3010:1337
    environment:
      - BASE_URL=https://myurl
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres@postgres/planka
      - SECRET_KEY=9MYSECRETKEY
    depends_on:
      - postgres

Hi!

Backup all public files: docker run --rm --volumes-from planka_planka_1 -v $(pwd):/backup meltyshev/planka:latest tar cvf /backup/backup.tar /app/public/user-avatars /app/public/project-background-images /app/public/attachments.
Backup database data: docker exec planka_postgres_1 pg_dump -U postgres -c planka > backup.sql.
After these commands, you'll have 2 files in the current folder - move them to the new server.
Restore all public files from the backup: docker run --rm --volumes-from planka_planka_1 -v $(pwd):/backup planka bash -c "cd / && tar xvf /backup/backup.tar --strip 1".
Restore database data from the backup: docker exec -i planka_postgres_1 psql -U postgres -d planka < backup.sql.

Note that you need to change the container name in commands (planka_planka_1, planka_postgres_1) if you have other names.

I'm not sure if this is truly an "issue" for Planka but rather a limitation in the user's knowledge of the underlying technology so I'd suggest we close this.
