Database Backup

When AWS S3 environment variables are specified on db docker container, it enables Wal-E backup to S3.

docker run -d --name mattermost-db \
    -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXX \
    -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXX \
    -e WALE_S3_PREFIX=s3://BUCKET_NAME/PATH \
    -e AWS_REGION=us-east-1
    -v ./volumes/db/var/lib/postgresql/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    db

All four environment variables are required. It will enable completed WAL segments sent to archive storage (S3). The base backup and clean up can be done through the following command:

# base backup
docker exec mattermost-db su - postgres sh -c "/usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /usr/local/bin/wal-e backup-push /var/lib/postgresql/data"
# keep the most recent 7 base backups and remove the old ones
docker exec mattermost-db su - postgres sh -c "/usr/bin/envdir /etc/wal-e.d/env /usr/local/bin/wal-e delete --confirm retain 7"

Those tasks can be executed through a cron job or systemd timer.

Upgrading to Team Edition 3.0.x from 2.x

docker-compose build app
docker-compose run app -upgrade_db_30
docker-compose up -d

Known Issues

Do not modify the Listen Address in Service Settings.
