Add instructions for using the MongoDB snapshot to the FAQ #342

Closed jonrkarr closed 4 years ago

jonrkarr commented 4 years ago

@lzy7071, I started a FAQ for instructions for using the MongoDB snapshot. Can you enter the details into src/scenes/Help/Faq.js?

I found this documentation: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/backup-with-filesystem-snapshots/. I wasn't sure how you created the snapshot or how it should be restored. Is this restoration something like below

  1. Install and configure MongoDB
  2. Restore the snapshot 
    lvcreate --size 1G --name mdb-new vg0
gzip -d -c mdb-snap01.gz | dd of=/dev/vg0/mdb-new
mount /dev/vg0/mdb-new /srv/mongodb

Yes, that's how the restoration should be done. It essentially replaces the currently mounted data partition with the snapshot.

@lzy7071 I copied the instructions above to the faq.js file. Please edit as needed, or close the issue if you feel no edits are needed.

I added MongoDB's link in https://github.com/KarrLab/datanator_frontend/commit/8a941a5a04652c754a34ea1ba2787b35165dbef7 for details.
