🔖 Feature description

Save settings, dashboards, and monitors config, in a different place other than a single .DB file. So we can include those files on Git and have historical data and visual diffs of what was changed individually per section.

✔️ Solution

It would be great to have settings stored under /app/data/settings/ as JSON or YAML.

❓ Alternatives

I'm currently adding kuma.db to Git, but it keeps changing every 1 minute or so, and it is most likely including data that is not crucial to restore an instance in case of an issue.

📝 Additional Context

It could help with the UI backups as well, as we could just zip the /settings folder and restore and override everything inside of it. Or instead of replacing, we could "merge" existing settings with the ones being imported.

Git is not designed for backuping binary blobs I would not recomend using it this way.

The rest is a duplicate of these two issues (closing as duplicate):
