You can use the following procedure along with some third-party modules to automate the backup process:
Run the following command to launch the bash terminal:
docker exec -it aaf-aucore-1 /bin/bash
Run the following command to navigate to the directory version 2:
cd /opt/AuCore/aucore/scripts/db_tools/version2/
Run the following command to backup the database:
./au_export_encrypt.sh
NOTE:You can also run the following command to initiate the database backup process instead of performing Step 1 to Step 3:
docker exec aaf-aucore-1 /opt/AuCore/aucore/scripts/db_tools/version2/au_export_encrypt.sh
The backed up database file is saved in the following locations in .cpt format:
Within the container: /opt/AuCore/data/export/
Out of the container: /var/lib/docker/volumes/aaf_aucore-data/_data/export/
IMPORTANT:When you initiate the backup process for the first time, ensure to backup using the Administration portal. If you try Backing Up the Database Through Console for the first time instead of backing up through the administration portal, you might get an error message as follows:
+ pidfile=/etc/nginx/html/static/proc/export.pid
+ '[' -f /etc/nginx/html/static/proc/export.pid ']'
+ echo 17985
./export.sh: line 12: /etc/nginx/html/static/proc/export.pid: No such file or directory
