Restore container

1

Hi,

Looking for some help/tips
This morning my docker host crashed. Axigen-container was running on this host.
/var/opt/axigen was mapped to an external nfs share so that data is still intact.
Tried to deploy a new axigen container or another host with /var/opt/axigen mapped to the nfs share containing the data. But axigen keep starting unconfigured? I can’t seem to “restore” my container. I followed the [Axigen Mail Server - How to restore a backup of the working directory](Axigen Mail Server - How to restore a backup of the working directory but no joy.
Does anybody have any tips?

Thanks

Hello,

Can you tel me which image version of Axigen image you use to start the container after the crash?

Hello there,

I use the axigen/axigen:latest docker image,
With all the patches etc it translates to:

Current Server version: 10.3.3.52
Current WebMail version: 10.3.3.52.0
Current WebAdmin version: 10.3.3.52.0

Regards,

Emiel

Managed to fix the problem by doing a full docker host restore from a backup.
But I am still curious on the backup/restore procedure.
Is just the /var/opt/axigen directory enough to do a full server restore? Or is there more data required?

Note that Axigen docker with latest tag was updated last week to Axigen 10.4.0 and today to 10.4.1 that has different folder for Axigen Working Directory more exactly “/axigen/var” instead of “/var/opt/axigen” and this could explain the behaviour you mention.

To use Axigen 10.4.1 with your Axigen working directory you will have to mount in /axigen/var

Regarding your question yes all the necessary files (configuration / domain storage) are located in Axigen Working directory.

Perfect thanks a million for confirming that, makes me feel a lot safer with current backup.
I’ll do a test upgrade with the new mounts.
