Restoring backup files

Important first is to stop the changedetection.io instance, as it will be monitoring and writing to the disk.

docker kill changedetection

Change the path in BACKUP_PATH to be the FULL path to the export backup Zip file

export BACKUP_PATH=/home/dgtlmoon/Downloads/changedetection-backup-1616751572.zip

docker run -v changedetectionio_changedetection-data:/datastore -v $BACKUP_PATH:/backup.zip python:3.8-slim bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install unzip -y; unzip -o /backup.zip -d /datastore"

then restart

docker restart changedetection

NOTE: If you are running on a Windows machine using PowerShell you will not be able to use the 'export' command above. Instead you can put the path to your backup file directly in the docker run command as follows, replacing c:\YourBackupPath\changedetection-backup-20240719151543.zip with the path to your file.

docker run -v changedetectionio_changedetection-data:/datastore -v c:\YourBackupPath\changedetection-backup-20240719151543.zip:/backup.zip python:3.8-slim bash -c "apt-get update && apt-get install unzip -y; unzip -o /backup.zip -d /datastore"
