@kensanata @audiodude yup - another google match up, that's the article I'm working from. That, and the env and yml should do it. Technically I should backup the live content as well, but I've got weekly droplet backups at DigitalOcean, and not that worried about losing a few pics of peoples dinners, etc.

@cheesegrits @kensanata @audiodude I'm real late to replying to this :(

I do:

```
#!/bin/bash
docker exec -u postgres data_db_1 pg_dumpall -c > backup.sql
lzma backup.sql
mv backup.sql.lzma /data/backups/$(date +%s).sql.lzma
find /data/backups -mtime +5 -a -type f -delete
```

And I backup /data/ daily via rsync. The potential for loss exists, say, Sidekiq jobs from Redis, but with the PostgreSQL database and media everything else can be reconstructed.

@insom @kensanata @cheesegrits Thanks for the reply and filling in where I have obviously failed my public!

@audiodude @insom @kensanata thanks Travis.

BTW - are there any super secret tree houses where Mastodon admins hang out? I've been trying to find one, no joy. Thinking of starting a 'metadon' instance for discussion of Mastadon / admin thereof.

@cheesegrits @insom @kensanata There definitely are! But I of course don't know where they are. I heard @maloki mentioning some of them.

Also all aboard the mention train choo choo!

@audiodude @cheesegrits @insom @[email protected] well, there's an admin section on the discourse. You can just write in a thread there too let us know your an admin to get bumped.
And there's a channel on the discord.
And I think there's a matrix, but I dunno how much that's used anymore.

You can also try #adminneedhelp

Thanks. I'd found the discourse, and posted in the admin thread. Just seemed a little quiet, I thought maybe admins were partying elsewhere without me. :)
