Migrating, Updates, and Backups
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
As Paperless is still under active development, there's a lot that can change
|
|
as software updates roll out. You should backup often, so if anything goes
|
|
wrong during an update, you at least have a means of restoring to something
|
|
usable. Thankfully, there are automated ways of backing up, restoring, and
|
|
updating the software.
|
|

Backing Up
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
So you're bored of this whole project, or you want to make a remote backup of
|
|
the unencrypted files for whatever reason. This is easy to do, simply use the
|
|
:ref:`exporter <utilities-exporter>` to dump your documents and database out
|
|
into an arbitrary directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _migrating-restoring:
|
|
|
|
Restoring
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Restoring your data is just as easy, since nearly all of your data exists either
|
|
in the file names, or in the contents of the files themselves. You just need to
|
|
create an empty database (just follow the
|
|
:ref:`installation instructions <setup-installation>` again) and then import the
|
|
``tags.json`` file you created as part of your backup. Lastly, copy your
|
|
exported documents into the consumption directory and start up the consumer.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
$ cd /path/to/project
|
|
$ rm data/db.sqlite3 # Delete the database
|
|
$ cd src
|
|
$ ./manage.py migrate # Create the database
|
|
$ ./manage.py createsuperuser
|
|
$ ./manage.py loaddata /path/to/arbitrary/place/tags.json
|
|
$ cp /path/to/exported/docs/* /path/to/consumption/dir/
|
|
$ ./manage.py document_consumer
|
|
|
|
Importing your data if you are :ref:`using Docker <setup-installation-docker>`
|
|
is almost as simple:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
# Stop and remove your current containers
|
|
$ docker-compose stop
|
|
$ docker-compose rm -f
|
|
|
|
# Recreate them, add the superuser
|
|
$ docker-compose up -d
|
|
$ docker-compose run --rm webserver createsuperuser
|
|
|
|
# Load the tags
|
|
$ cat /path/to/arbitrary/place/tags.json | docker-compose run --rm webserver loaddata_stdin -
|
|
|
|
# Load your exported documents into the consumption directory
|
|
# (How you do this highly depends on how you have set this up)
|
|
$ cp /path/to/exported/docs/* /path/to/mounted/consumption/dir/
|
|
|
|
After loading the documents into the consumption directory the consumer will
|
|
immediately start consuming the documents.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Updates
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
For the most part, all you have to do to update Paperless is run ``git pull``
|
|
on the directory containing the project files, and then use Django's
|
|
``migrate`` command to execute any database schema updates that might have been
|
|
rolled in as part of the update:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
$ cd /path/to/project
|
|
$ git pull
|
|
$ cd src
|
|
$ ./manage.py migrate
|
|
|
|
Note that it's possible (even likely) that while ``git pull`` may update some
|
|
files, the ``migrate`` step may not update anything. This is totally normal.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, as new features are added, the ability to control those features
|
|
is typically added by way of an environment variable set in ``paperless.conf``.
|
|
You may want to take a look at the ``paperless.conf.example`` file to see if
|
|
there's anything new in there compared to what you've got int ``/etc``.
|
|
|
|
If you are :ref:`using Docker <setup-installation-docker>` the update process
|
|
is similar:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell-session
|
|
|
|
$ cd /path/to/project
|
|
$ git pull
|
|
$ docker build -t paperless .
|
|
$ docker-compose up -d
|
|
|
|
If ``git pull`` doesn't report any changes, there is no need to continue with
|
|
the remaining steps.
