Backing up Paperless NGX ? in c/main@selfhosted.forum
[–] ICameFeetFirst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks. Is actually exporting whole folder a better solution ? This is what Paperless NGX is telling to do in official doc

Options available to docker installations: Backup the docker volumes. These usually reside within /var/lib/docker/volumes on the host and you need to be root in order to access them.

Paperless uses 4 volumes:

paperless_media: This is where your documents are stored.
paperless_data: This is where auxillary data is stored. This folder also contains the SQLite database, if you use it.
paperless_pgdata: Exists only if you use PostgreSQL and contains the database.
paperless_dbdata: Exists only if you use MariaDB and contains the database.

My Paperless NGX install is actually

Paperless

  • consume
  • data
  • db (with PG subfolders)
  • Export
  • Media
  • Redis

Thank you very much for your help !

Backing up Paperless NGX ? (alien.top)
 

Hello Everyone,

I successfully installed Paperless NGX on my Nas via Docker/portainer through this nice tutorial https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-paperless-ngx-on-your-synology-nas/ (Thanks Marius) !

I know have three Paperless related containers in my docker app on synology :

Paperless-NGX Paperless-NGX-DB Paperless-NGX-REDIS

I'm now asking myself what would be the best and easiest way to backup everything on a regular basis.

I actually manually export all three containers and copy Paperless NGX content from filestation.

Is it sufficient ? Anyone would share a simpler way to back up everything as it's pretty cumbersome to make everything by hand.

Thanks for your help !
