Cloudron Forum

I have adjusted the latest package to make CLI args customizable (since there's no way to do this via env vars).

@gobenizzle This only means that the backup task was "interrupted" when a backup was in progress. The code assumes that if a backup got arbitrary interrupted (i.e not via the stop button), it is because the box code crashed. That assumption is true most of the time but you probably ran out of disk space and rebooted etc which killed the backup task.

Nothing to worry. If you trigger a new backup, it will go away.

@nebulon really love you guys for never failing to provide a helpful response, you even have this "rare case" covered in the docs

@cvachery said in InfluxDB:

Wouldn't it be possible then to backup the folder containing the configuration+backups made by the influxdb tool and not backuping the live data? I didn't have a deep look at how the backup are done by cloudron so maybe it

Right, it's possible. There is no code to make this flow happen and that's what I was getting it 🙂 Currently, the app does not know when Cloudron creates a backup. The app actually keeps running when the backup is being made. We just backup the database and then the /app/data of an app without the app's knowledge. Databases (that we support) have transactions to generate a consistent dump file. Support for specific databases (mysql, redis, mongo, postgres) is part of our backup code/logic and this is why those db backups are safe. There is actually a race between db backup + file system backup . In practice, this has not been a problem because apps usually tend to use one or the other and do not do "transactions"/atomic operations over db+filesystem.

We are not really experts on such specific configurations for SOGo but you could install an app and put it into debug mode if you are a developer using the cloudron cli tool with cloudron debug --app <appdomain> then login to the app with cloudron exec --app <appdomain> and start the app with /app/code/start.sh Then the whole filesystem becomes writeable and you can see how to tweak the configs as you want. If you have found a working combination, let us know and we can see how we can change the app package to allow such config to be persistent and updateable.
