Backups

Everything Statup keeps lives in two places: the SQLite database, with its -wal and -shm files, and the uploads directory, which holds the logo and the icons. With Docker, both are in the statup_data volume.

Compose names the volume after the project folder: statup_statup_data for a folder called statup. docker volume ls lists the exact name.

With Docker

Stop Statup, archive the volume, start it again:

docker compose stop statup
docker run --rm -v statup_statup_data:/data -v "$PWD":/backup alpine \
  tar czf /backup/statup-backup.tar.gz -C /data .
docker compose start statup

statup-backup.tar.gz lands in the current folder.

From source

Stop the server, then copy statup.db, statup.db-wal, statup.db-shm and data/uploads/.

What a backup contains

The accounts, the events, the services, the settings, the Journal, and the addresses of the alert channels. Anyone who knows a webhook address can post in its channel: keep the backups where you keep other secrets.
