Proget: Move data to another folder

[Sigve.opedal_6476]

Hello

So first I'd like to say that I'm not very experienced with Docker. But getting Proget up and running using docker was a breeze. Proget is very useful for us, and our use is expanding. And that's kind of my issue. When I installed Proget, I just followed the installation instructions which resulted in the Proget-database/packages/backup folders being placed in the root user home folder on the root volume. So my root partition is now filling up.

I've added a second volume and mounted it to /var/proget. But how do I migrate the contents of my database/packages and backup folder to the new folders? I've tried just to rsync the files to the new destination and then run installation with

docker run -d --name=proget --restart=unless-stopped \
  -v /var/proget/proget-packages:/var/proget/packages \
  -v /var/proget/proget-database:/var/proget/database  \
  -v /var/proget/proget-backups:/var/proget/backups \
  -p 8624:80  \
  proget.inedo.com/productimages/inedo/proget:25.0.18

but I get a database error. So I tried to find a way to backup and restore, but honestly the documentations seem somewhat wanting for how to backup and restore using docker? Same goes for migrating to another server, I cannot find a guide for this?

I had a snapshot of the installation from before i tried to move the data, so I just reverted to that to get it up and running again. But I still need a way to move data to the other volume.

@Sigve-opedal_6476
Here is a solution
Create a network.
With that proget can reach inedo as they will be into the same network.
docker network create inedo-net

Inedo
docker run -d --name inedodb
--network inedo-net
-v ./inedo-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
proget.inedo.com/productimages/inedo/inedodb:17.6

sudo chown 1000:1000 proget-database

Proget
docker run -d --name proget
--network inedo-net
-p 8624:80
-v ./proget-packages:/var/proget/packages
-v ./proget-backups:/var/proget/backups
-v ./proget-database:/var/proget/database
-e INEDO_DB_TYPE=inedodb
-e INEDO_DB_HOST=inedodb
-e INEDO_DB_USER=proget \
proget.inedo.com/productimages/inedo/proget:latest

I got also lot's of issue because the database directory must be empty.
I hope it will help you.

Thanks @certificatemanager_4002 -- that will definitely work if you're using inedodb (i.e. settting up a cluster), though for using a single-server instance, inedodb isn't recommended.

@Sigve-opedal_6476 I'm not super-experienced at Linux myself.... but if the container is stopped, then you should be able to just move/copy the files. The container must be able to read the files -- I do know there's some kind of permissions/user error when things aren't set right.

I'd share the database error when you restart.

[Sigve.opedal_6476]

The error I got was this. I tried my best to set correct permissions and SELinux label, but I guess there could be something there. Bu my suspicion is that the database is referenced somewhere pointing the old location? But I can try again with selinux disabled

[Sigve.opedal_6476]

So I succeeded this time, I changed the montpoint to /data and created the subdirectories:

mkdir -p /data/proget/proget-backups
mkdir -p /data/proget/proget-database
mkdir -p /data/proget/proget-packages

Set correct permissions on the folders (same permissions as on the./proget-* folders)

chmod 700 /data/proget/proget-database/
chmod 755 /data/proget/proget-backups/
chmod 755 /data/proget/proget-packages/

Set ownership

chown 101:root /data/proget/proget-database/
chown root:root /data/proget/proget-backups/
chown root:root /data/proget/proget-packages/

Set correct SELinux context

semanage fcontext -a -t svirt_sandbox_file_t "/data/proget(/.*)?"
restorecon -Rv /data/proget

Stop- and remove proget (I had a sapshot of the server as backup)

docker stop proget
docker rm proget

rsync data to new directory

rsync -avh ./proget-packages/ /data/proget/proget-packages/
rsync -avh ./proget-database/ /data/proget/proget-database/
rsync -avh ./proget-backups/ /data/proget/proget-backups/

Then install with (:z added for SELInux)

docker run -d --name=proget --restart=unless-stopped \
  -v /data/proget/proget-packages:/var/proget/packages:z \
  -v /data/proget/proget-database:/var/proget/database:z \
  -v /data/proget/proget-backups:/var/proget/backups:z \
  -p 8624:80 \
  proget.inedo.com/productimages/inedo/proget:25.0.18

last, remove the old directories in root home folder after ensuring everything is OK.

cd ~
rm -rf ./proget-packages ./proget-database ./proget-backups

Now it works as expected. i don't know what I did wrong last time, but now proget isn't filling up the root directory anymore. probably obvious for everyone used to docker, but wasn't for me :)
