4. Backup/Restore

Backup

This will shut down the container, create backups from the volumes, and then run the container again:

./volumes_backup.sh
# or
./volumes_backup.sh ./../my_backup_dir/

Restore

This will shut down the container, restore (overwrite!) the backup files into the volumes, and start the container again.

./volumes_restore.sh
# or
./volumes_restore.sh ./../my_backup_dir/

Auto-Backup Example

Create a 'backup_gitea.sh' file in your home directory, with this content:

cd /home/roel/gitea-docker && ./volumes_backup.sh /mnt/nas_gitea/

Make it executable:

chmod +x backup_gitea.sh

Run backup script every day at 05:00 AM

sudo crontab -e

0 5 * * * /home/roel/gitea-docker/backup_gitea.sh

Run it directly with:

./backup_gitea.sh

5. Update gitea version

First, set the new version number in 'docker-compose.yml'. Check the latest version number here: https://dl.gitea.com/gitea/version.json

Then run:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --remove-orphans

You might want to remove old images, show all images with docker images

To remove an old unused image:

docker rmi gitea/gitea:1.19.0
