Quicksetup: Where does the data live? #43

Closed mssever closed 5 months ago

mssever commented 5 months ago

I installed Owntracks using quicksetup. Both for the purposes of debugging an issue I'm facing and for planning a backup strategy, I'm wondering where the data lives. I haven't seen anything relevant in the documentation, nor have I found it by poking around my system.

(issue transferred to Quicksetup issue tracker)

Data submitted via MQTT (or HTTP) to OwnTracks lives in the <STORAGE> directory of the OwnTracks Recorder. This is configured to be

/var/spool/owntracks/recorder/

below which there are a number of subdirectories.

This page details a bit more on how the data is organized.
