Backup and restore ------------------ The service provides several commands aim to do easy repository backup and restore. If you would like to move repository from the server ``server1.example.com`` to another ``server2.example.com`` you have to perform the following steps: #. On the source server ``server1.example.com`` run ``repo-backup`` command, e.g.: .. code-block:: shell ahriman repo-backup /tmp/repo.tar.gz This command will pack all configuration files together with database file into the archive specified as command line argument (i.e. ``/tmp/repo.tar.gz``). In addition it will also archive ``cache`` directory (the one which contains local clones used by e.g. local packages) and ``.gnupg`` of the ``ahriman`` user. #. Copy created archive from source server ``server1.example.com`` to target ``server2.example.com``. #. Install package as usual on the target server ``server2.example.com`` if you didn't yet. #. Extract archive e.g. by using subcommand: .. code-block:: shell ahriman repo-restore /tmp/repo.tar.gz An additional argument ``-o``/``--output`` can be used to specify extraction root (``/`` by default). #. Rebuild repository: .. code-block:: shell sudo -u ahriman ahriman repo-rebuild --from-database
