Backup

Backups are an important part of system administration!

Create

Save binary file and configuration files to archive:

tar -Pzcf ~/astra-backup.tar.gz /usr/bin/astra /etc/astra

Restore

To extract backup launch next commands:

rm -f /usr/bin/astra
tar -Pxf ~/astra-backup.tar.gz

Register the service on a new server

After restoring the backup on a new server, register Astra in systemd:

astra init

This command registers Astra as a system service named astra with management port 8000. To start the service, run:

systemctl start astra
