Cannot import app backup from other cloudron
-
@nebulon I see, but how is this any different from the "restore to this backup" action? I mean, if you backup a Cloudron and its apps to an sshfs storage provider it is possible - I hope - to restore an individual app to a previous state. In this case the files also have to be retrieved from an ssh backend.
Regarding the app import process you suggest: is it sufficient to only copy over the most recent folders or should I copy the full backup (which can become quite large)?
Is there any ETA on when sshfs will be supported?
Maybe it's also a good idea to add a notification about this "incompatibility" in the backup configuration screen when selecting sshfs or another storage provider that's currently not supported?
E.g. "Note: this storage provider is currently not supported for app import".@guyds I will try to add this to the next version.
You have to copy the latest backup this should contain the full set. The backup config json file you can download via the dashboard will contain some information to find it on disk by the backup ID.

That would be great, thanks!

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll try it that way.

Much to my disappointment I just noticed that this issue still exists.
In other words, I still cannot import a backup from an sshfs location because it's still giving the errorError : External Error - Error loading fsmetadata.json:ENOENT: no such file or directoryThe only way to get the app imported on a new cloudron is by manually copying over the backup to the local filesystem.

@guyds yes, unfortunately, the fix did not make it to 7.4.
Any timeframe for when the fix will be available?

I think https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8672/move-local-backup-to-another-server was the same issue.
Hmmm, I'm don't see any issues mentioned in that post, it just seems to be a request for best practices regarding backups

@guyds Whoops, you are right. I meant https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8707/backup-restore-is-not-working and specifically https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8707/backup-restore-is-not-working/5. There is a bug in the import functionality that it doesn't mount SSHFS/CIFS/NFS correctly before import.
