gitlab backup script

RaymiiRaymii Member
edited July 2012 in General

I'm writing a gitlab backup script. Now it backs up the gitlab database, the gitlab app directory (/home/gitlab) and the /home/git directory. Do I forget something?

    Have you asked the developers? Other users here might not use GitLab.

    Never heard of it before, checked it out an it looks pretty cool so thanks OP :P Currently use Gitorious for my private Git projects, but that sucks.

    I know @djvdorp mentioned it here, but that would be a good idea to do ass well too. LET is just hardcoded in my fingers, just like vim...

  • AsadAsad Member

    The real pros use nano!

  • djvdorpdjvdorp Member

    I think you got it all covered when i read you list Raymii ^^

    @AsadHaider Real Pro's use tools that gets work finished at the end of the day. Some even use stone tablets...

    @djvdorp the backup runs for about 30 min, and gives a 6 gb backup... Is that OK?

    @Raymii I dont know, how much do you store in it? And how big are the directories itself (Im at the office so dont have access to my gitlab server now)

  • RaymiiRaymii Member

    @djvdorp

    ~$ du -h --summarize /home/git
2.4G    /home/git

---

~$ du -h --summarize /home/gitlabhq/
3.9G    /home/gitlabhq/

    @Raymii I think its fine then :)

  • happelhappel Member

    @Raymii said: 3.9G /home/gitlabhq/

    Wow.. My gitlab app directory is only 265M...

    worked great for me

  • RaymiiRaymii Member

    @fly I've not setup this beast repo, so I wouldn't know that, maybe on their website...

    @happel How many projects do you have?

  • happelhappel Member

    @raymii maybe a dozen relatively small php projects. But the repositories are stored in the /home/git directory if I'm not mistaken.

  • RaymiiRaymii Member

    This thing has about 250 projects in it...
