Missing docs / install & configure

Request

I am missing a step to step manual/guide to installing DSMR/docker. I get the dockerinstances running, but am not expierenced enough to get a postgresql docker running and connect it, let alone import my DB backup into it.

Is there any step by step guide to guide me to the end? :)

Additional information

old DSMR on RPI4 crashed, reinstall leads to newer postgresql version with an AUTH incompatibility on django/website. So reinstall and restore is not working. Since docker is the future path i want to switch over but fail to find some guided helps.

I recently moved my PI based install to the Docker version. Might be able to give you some guidance.

So you have a previous postures dump (*.sql file) AND a running docker setup including dsmr and dsmrb running?

thanks! Yes i have a dsmr backup. This backup is OK as i imported it into a new DSRM install and worked well. I have a PI4, setup with docker and can start the DSMR containers. I have no clue on howto start a postgresql container, which one (!?) and connect the 2, let alone howto restore the DB into that container :) how to open up the dsmr interface to the LAN so i can connect to theDSMR GUI is another 'thingy' :)

OK so this is about restoring the backup in a Docker based DSMR install.

First of all you want the docker compose stack of DSMR (includes both DSMR and postgresql). That is the easiest approach.

Follow the instructions at https://github.com/xirixiz/dsmr-reader-docker#run-with-docker-compose

Mind you that you can setup this environment NEXT to your existing DSMR first to test. If you are done with that you should have a default installation which can be accessed on your LAN next to the one you already have.

thanks! missed that in the instructions page, perhaps better paragraph that... running now through docker-compose. next try to import the backup :)

//sweet! that was easier then i thought. Thanks a lot @marcovn
