hope i can upgrade computer fairies without killing it

@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
