LinkDing on Cloudron - Bookmarks Manage and Search

[Kubernetes]

@girish I fixed the most mentioned things, but I still use to copy the application to /app/data because it needs to have write access when started.

EDIT 1: I did a merge request now

EDIT 2: I am not sure if I did push it right. I see the merged change in my repo now, but not in yours....

@Kubernetes I think your local git repo is still pointing to your original repo on gitlab. You have to switch it to the forked one.

[Kubernetes]

@girish No, it is not. I did a git clone of the forked repo to a new path. I tried it now twice, but both times the push (even with branch) is going to my repo, but not to yours. I am not experienced with using git in collaboration, so there might be something I am doing wrong. But I don't know what it is. When I try to push (without branching), I get this error:

any hints?

[girish]

@Kubernetes that looks like some permission issue . Let me check what I did..

[girish]

@Kubernetes yes, was my mistake. Can you please try again?

[Kubernetes]

@girish Yes! Now it did work, I pushed the two fixed files. As mentioned, it is still using /app/data as the manage.py does need write access during startup of the linkding application. I was not able to discover how to workaround this.

[Kubernetes]

I created a backup script that can be configured in the App Cron settings to backup the linkding database regulary to the /app/data/backups folder

backup.sh

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /app/data/backups/
cd /app/data/backups/
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP=$(date +'%Y%m%d_%H%M%S')
BACKUP_FILE="backup_${CURRENT_TIMESTAMP}.sqlite3"
sqlite3 /app/data/data/db.sqlite3 ".backup '${BACKUP_FILE}'"

@girish
is it possible to get this configured automatically when deploying the package?

[girish]

On Cloudron, backups are automatic if one follows the right packaging style. I have to look into the app further.

[Kubernetes]

@girish yes, I know that about regular updates. But in this case I am not sure, if a container data backup is the best way to backup a sqlite3 database. Not sure about open references and so. Thats why I thought a backup with sqlite backup command would be more resistant

[girish]

Initial version is out. Let's continue any discuss in the linkding category. Thanks @Kubernetes
