Backing up Package Security Manager#

Follow these steps to back up your instance of Package Security Manager:

  1. Open a terminal and connect to your instance of Package Security Manager. Work with your IT administrator if you need help with this step.

  2. Enter your installer directory.

  3. Using your preferred file editor, open the docker-compose.yml file.

  4. Locate the Postgres: expose: section of the file.

  5. Replace expose with ports, and replace "5432" with "5432:5432".

  6. Save your work and close the file.

  7. Restart your containers by running the following command:

    docker compose up -d

  8. Create a backup of the docker-compose.yml and .env files. These files contain your server’s custom configurations and are overwritten during reinstallation.

  9. Run the following command from the install directory:

    # Replace <POSTGRES_PASSWORD> with your postgres password. You can find your postgres password here: <BASE_INSTALL_DIR>/config/postgres/postgres_db_password.txt
./repo-tools backup --database-uri postgresql://postgres:<POSTGRES_PASSWORD>@localhost:5432/postgres --keycloak-database-uri postgresql://postgres:<POSTGRES_PASSWORD>@localhost:5432/keycloak  --blob-dir /opt/anaconda/repo/state/internal/blobs/ > repo.backup.zip

  10. Save the repo.backup.zip file to a secure location.

  11. Open your docker-compose.yml file.

  12. Revert the changes to the Postgres: expose: section of the file and restore your server’s custom configurations.

  13. Save your changes and close the file.

  14. Open the .env file and restore your server’s saved custom configurations.

  15. Save your changes and close the file.

  16. Restart your containers by running the following command:

    docker compose up -d
