Hi @unnikked, Thanks for putting forward this idea.
I think building in backup to BookStack is a great idea and the linked package looks fantastic. Here are my thoughts on the idea and the spatie/laravel-backup
package:
spatie/laravel-backup
package looks like it does backups very well but, After a quick read of their documentation, I did not see anything about restore. I think we'd ideally implement both backup and restore.Hi,
@freekmurze thank you for your prompt reply. About 2. by reading what you told I think you made the right decision. Keep up the good work! :D
@ssddanbrown according to freek's reply it's better to provide a custom solution for restoring.
@freekmurze Thanks for commenting on this.
So just to confirm, Only myself, as the project maintainer, would need to send a postcard? And all BookStack users, even with their own production instances, would not need to send a postcard?
Also, Will you be continuing to support v3 even after moving to v4?
Yup that's correct.
I can't guarantee eternal support for v3. No new features will be added to that version, but I'll probably fix breaking bugs. Unless it's very easy to support, probably I'll cease supporting v3 when Laravel 5.4 comes out.
That being said v3 has already received many bugfixes and seems to be quite stable atm.
I'm going to close this issue off since we have #723 and #2405 open, and this is focused on implementation rather than end-goal/results.
I recently posted some thoughts in my comment here.
I've been using Bookstack for a couple of months and I really look forward for this project.
Since it is developed with Laravel it would be nice to integrate
spatie/laravel-backup
in order to automate the backup process so we can all feel secure about our data.Why I think
spatie/laravel-backup
is a good choice ?How we should integrate this package ? I would like to hear the opinion of the author since this package can be integrated in the UI so a user can set his own logic for the backup.
For reference there is also a good documentation about this package.
