Auto backup do not appear to be working #416

Closed Gerporgl closed 8 months ago

Gerporgl commented 8 months ago

My docker-compose log says Auto backup enabled. However even after changing the cron schedule I can never find the backup anywhere and there is no log showing that it runs.

After login in the docker container manually (docker exec) and executing the cron job manually (/sbin/entrypoint.sh app:backup) I am prompted with a "Password:" prompt. I then guessed it may be the postgres user password and it worked. It seems to me that perhaps the credentials are not passed or automated properly?

I am also no clear if this feature is documented anywhere. I was about to setup my own script to run the backup task, but then found clues that there was probably an automated backup implemented already in docker.

Perhaps this backup solution is not good, it does not appear to be using the /home/zulip/deployments/current/manage.py backup script described in the zulip documenation, it seems to be mostly a postgres dump.

I will probably just make backups of the docker volumes instead.
