The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people. (lemmy.world)

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

this is the bash script I use to create backups

#! /bin/bash
# https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/backup_and_restore.html#a-sample-backup-script
now=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.%S")

cd ~/lemmy && (docker-compose exec -T postgres pg_dumpall -c -U lemmy 1> dump.sql 2> dump.errors)
cd ~/lemmy && zip -r9 ~/bak-lemmy-$now.zip ./ --exclude "volumes/postgres/*"
rm -f ~/lemmy/dump.sql

it creates very small zip files as a result so it's very efficient

I made a cron for it to run every 3 hours, like

0 */3 * * * ~/lemmy/backup.sh

I figured out how to do this with docker container, but that's not ideal for a script.

Using docker compose it just fails with: Service "postgres" is not running container #1

I can see lemmy-easy-deploy if I do: docker compose ls

The service name is postgres in the docker-compose.yml file. Any idea what the issue might be?

Where is this lemmy-easy-deploy? I haven't seen that before, maybe if I read how it works I can figure out what's wrong

I think you might just need to change the cds to go into the correct directory where the active docker-compose.yml file is, which should be in the folder called live

Sadly, no. That's already where I was running it.
