Backup restore not working

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

I backed up Brewblox using backup save command. It save a .tar.gz file, which is not acceptable as input, so extracted it on my Mac, zipped it loaded onto my freshly installed Raspberry Pi. Then ran Brewblox backup load and update but no signs of dashboards or other configurations in the web-ui. Apart from that it seems to be working fine.

What is the content of the archive? brewblox-ctl snapshot save is the one that generates a .tar.gz file.

3

Hi,

Saved the contents into a text-file, see attached.
brewblox_files.txt (85.6 KB)

4

Is this the contents of the brewblox dir, or the .tar.gz archive?

This will list files in archive:

tar -tvf brewblox.tar.gz
5

Hi,

It was the contents after unzipping it, this is the tar contents.
brewblox_files2.txt (117.8 KB)

Ah ok. This is indeed the output from brewblox-ctl snapshot save. You can load it with brewblox-ctl snapshot load if you’re sure this is up-to-date.

Backup files can be found in the brewblox/backup/ directory, and include a timestamp in the file name.

7

The snapshot loaded ok but now it seems I have two competing projects. Any way to remove one of them or start fresh before I restore the snapshot?

ERROR: for traefik Cannot start service traefik: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint brewblox_traefik_1 (1b15bd3518130e2394bb6358c3192c5b0c1d334ea2b727da53ca6471ff43f637): Bind for 0.0.0.0:443 failed: port is already allocated
ERROR: Encountered errors while bringing up the project.

Command ‘docker-compose up -d’ returned non-zero exit status 1.

Command ‘/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/.local/bin/brewblox-ctl update --update-ctl-done --prune’ returned non-zero exit status 1.

8

brewblox-ctl kill will remove all docker containers currently running.

Loading a snapshot will wipe and recreate the brewblox directory to ensure a clean import.

Edit: if you still get errors about port being claimed after running kill, see this post: Salvage old brewblox data

Thanks, now up and running again!
