How-To Backup Wiki
To back-up this wiki involves these steps. Note: This procedure includes a full MariaDB backup.
First, log-in as "root" or do "sudo bash". Then run a script similar to the following.
Replace /backupdir with a full path for a non-existent backup directory. Make sure that there is at least two GB of disk space free in the associated filesystem. Set DATE6D to a 6-digit date.
set -e # Don't use "mkdir -p" here. mkdir /backupdir || exit 1 cd /backupdir/ || exit 1 # DATE6D=230923 mysqldump mediawiki > mariadb-mediawiki-$DATE6D.sql mysqldump olddevwiki > mariadb-olddevwiki-$DATE6D.sql mysqldump --system=users > mariadb-users-$DATE6D.sql gzip -9 *.sql # # The "*" in the next two lines is/are required. tar zcf mtwiki-tree-$DATE6D.tgz /var/www/wiki.minetest.org/* tar zcf mtolddev-tree-$DATE6D.tgz /var/www/olddev.minetest.org/* tardate *.tgz ls -l
Notes:
- The "/*" in the "tar" command above is needed because the directory that is being backed up may be a syslink. The "/*" will cause top-level dot-files to be skipped but as of Fall 2023 there weren't any.
- "tardate" is an OldCoder utility. If it isn't installed on the current system, the "tardate" command used here is optional.
