Use

Please see the podman README for information on how to use podman to run Mattermost Server.

Backup and Restore

Use a variation of the following to make backups:

mybackup_dir=~/backups # Or some mounted folder you'd like to do backups to
mkdir -p "$mybackup_dir"
for volume in mattermost-server-data mattermost-db; do
    podman run --rm -v $volume:/volume -v "$mybackup_dir":/backups alpine tar cvzf /backups/$volume-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tgz -C /volume ./
done

In order to restore those backups, you would run something like:

mybackup_dir=~/backups # Or some mounted folder you'd like to restore backups from
backups=$(for backup in "$mybackup_dir"/mattermost-server-data-*.tgz; do
    echo -n "$backup" | rev | cut -d. -f2 | rev | tail -c11
done) # This pulls the datestamps and sizes for existing backups if formatted like above
select backup in $backups; do [ "$backup" ] && break || echo "Unknown selection: $REPLY" >&2; done # this lets you pick from the existing backups
for volume in mattermost-server-data mattermost-db; do
    podman run --rm -v $volume:/volume -v "$mybackup_dir":/backups alpine sh -c "rm -rf /volume/* /volume/..?* /volume/.[!.]* ; tar xvzf /backups/$volume-$backup.tgz -C /volume"
done
