Oh this would be nice, a standardized way to back up instances so in the case of one going down forever someone else could pick it up and start running.
I know I’m happy to run my instance, I have a great fiber line and a solid infrastructure, but if I get hit by a bus tomorrow I’d want someone else to pick it up and get running
A one-click account transfer to a different instance would be great. However, there can be several “gotchas”, maybe the target instance has lower “permissions”, so that can lead to data loss. Eg: my instance doesn’t allow pictures more than 100 kb, some other instance doesn’t allow creation of communities. So this needs to be carefully throughout.
oh I was thinking a full instance backup. As an instance admin it’d be nice to backup the whole thing in a standardized way so someone else could grab it and spin it up if I collapsed tomorrow, all the community and users
If the instance is setup as a docker container, then it should be easy. The following should be transferred
docker-compose file
zipped up volume directory
At the destination, the docker volume dirs should be unzipped and the new paths should be updated in the docker-compose file. I’m sure someone would have made a script for this by now.
