hope i can upgrade computer fairies without killing it
@vahnj i need to have this, we don't have backups
@squirrel you need to replace <docker container id> with the container ID of the postgres container
@squirrel hey! you can do db backups by running
docker exec -t <docker container id>pg_dumpall -c -U postgres > /some/path/backup.sql
@tom you are the first person to tell me this in almost a year of owning a mastodon instance
@squirrel I had to look this up myself too, hahah. there don't seem to be too many people running their instances on docker apparently
@tom the difference is when i tried to look it up i was met with no answers other than snarky replies, as is usual for non-docker admins towards docker admins
mastodon is a divided house
@squirrel I didn't bother asking for mastodon specific things, I just looked up how to backup postgres dbs
@squirrel yr welcome!!
@squirrel good luck!!!! you got this
