Backup and Restore

Gitea currently has a dump command that will save the installation to a zip file. This file can be unpacked and used to restore an instance.

Backup Command (dump)

Switch to the user running gitea: su git. Run ./gitea dump -c /path/to/app.ini in the gitea installation directory. There should be some output similar to the following:

2016/12/27 22:32:09 Creating tmp work dir: /tmp/gitea-dump-417443001
2016/12/27 22:32:09 Dumping local repositories.../home/git/gitea-repositories
2016/12/27 22:32:22 Dumping database...
2016/12/27 22:32:22 Packing dump files...
2016/12/27 22:32:34 Removing tmp work dir: /tmp/gitea-dump-417443001
2016/12/27 22:32:34 Finish dumping in file gitea-dump-1482906742.zip

Inside the gitea-dump-1482906742.zip file, will be the following:

  • custom - All config or customerize files in custom/.
  • data - Data directory in <GITEA_WORK_DIR>, except sessions if you are using file session. This directory includes attachments, avatars, lfs, indexers, sqlite file if you are using sqlite.
  • gitea-db.sql - SQL dump of database
  • gitea-repo.zip - Complete copy of the repository directory.
  • log/ - Various logs. They are not needed for a recovery or migration.

Intermediate backup files are created in a temporary directory specified either with the --tempdir command-line parameter or the TMPDIR environment variable.

Restore Command (restore)

There is currently no support for a recovery command. It is a manual process that mostly involves moving files to their correct locations and restoring a database dump.

Example:

apt-get install gitea
unzip gitea-dump-1482906742.zip
cd gitea-dump-1482906742
mv custom/conf/app.ini /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini
unzip gitea-repo.zip
mv gitea-repo/* /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
chown -R gitea:gitea /etc/gitea/conf/app.ini /var/lib/gitea/repositories/
mysql -u$USER -p$PASS $DATABASE <gitea-db.sql
# or  sqlite3 $DATABASE_PATH <gitea-db.sql
service gitea restart
