This backup tool will generate query for each document in AppWrite database and save them as a json files on a hard drive. That means It can handle as much documents as you need. Also there is a script to run AppWrite in Docker on localhost so you can test your backup.

πŸ”₯ appwrite-backup-tool

Minimalistic Appwrite schema dumper with data backup, restore features

This backup tool will generate query for each document in AppWrite database and save them as a json files on a hard drive. That means It can handle as much documents as you need. Also there is a script to run AppWrite in Docker on localhost so you can test your backup. Build on top of AsyncGenerator API

Important

There is another project named react-declarative build especially for AppWrite Realtime development. ⭐Star and πŸ’»Fork It on github will be appreciated

Setup

  1. Install Appwrite CLI and login

Windows

npm install -g appwrite-cli Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned # In PowerShell as Administrator appwrite client --endpoint https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 appwrite login

Linux

sudo npm config set unsafe-perm true sudo npm install -g appwrite-cli appwrite client --endpoint https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 appwrite login
  1. [BACKUP, RESTORE] Write .env config in the root (/appwrite-backup-tool-main/.env) by using .env.example
APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1 APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=64b53d0c41fcf5093b12 APPWRITE_API_KEY=**** APPWRITE_SELF_SIGNED=1
  1. [RESTORE] Copy appwrite.json to the root (collections schema). See https://appwrite.io/docs/tooling/command-line/deployment

Usage

Data backup and restore

Crossplatform

npx -y rimraf backup npm run appwrite:backup
  • Deploy all local data to AppWrite server (clear installation is optional but recommended)

Crossplatform

npm run appwrite:restore

Schema backup and restore

  • Dump currend DB schema

Windows

npm run appwrite:fetch:windows

Linux

npm run appwrite:fetch
  • Push new DB schema to AppWrite instance

Windows

npm run appwrite:push:windows

Linux

npm run appwrite:push

Schema DIFF

  • Show changed collection attributes by comparing appwrite.json and appwrite.prev.json

Crossplatform

npm run appwrite:diff
  • Output
 ... COLLECTION APARTMENT ADD rent_kom_menedzher_unit ADD rent_kom_agency_unit ADD rent_kom_kommisiya_agenstva CHANGED rent_kom_czena_sobstvennika_valyuta (array true -> false) CHANGED rent_kom_komissiya_agenstva_unit (array true -> false) ... 

Other

Windows

npx -y open-cli http://localhost:8080/ npm run appwrite:start:windows

Linux

npx -y open-cli http://localhost:8080/ npm run appwrite:start
  • Authorize CLI in Docker AppWrite instance

Crossplatform

appwrite client --selfSigned true --endpoint http://localhost:8080/v1 appwrite login
  • Start AppWrite self-hosted instance (after .env changed)
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans --renew-anon-volumes
  • Stop AppWrite self-hosted instance
docker-compose down
  • Uninstall AppWrite by removing all volumes and containers (clean install). Also remove networks to avoid mariadb DNS lookup error when downgrade from higher version of AppWrite to lower
docker stop $(docker ps --filter status=running -q) docker rm $(docker ps -aq) docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q --filter dangling=true) docker rmi $(docker images -a -q) docker network prune --force --filter until=1s

Moving Appwrite from one machine to another

  1. Install docker-volume-snapshot
sudo curl -SL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junedkhatri31/docker-volume-snapshot/main/docker-volume-snapshot -o /usr/local/bin/docker-volume-snapshot sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-volume-snapshot 
  1. List volumes and export them
docker volume list # appwrite_appwrite-builds # appwrite_appwrite-cache # appwrite_appwrite-certificates # appwrite_appwrite-config # appwrite_appwrite-functions # appwrite_appwrite-influxdb # appwrite_appwrite-mariadb # appwrite_appwrite-redis # appwrite_appwrite-uploads
  1. Export volumes from current machine
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-builds appwrite_appwrite-builds.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-cache appwrite_appwrite-cache.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-certificates appwrite_appwrite-certificates.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-config appwrite_appwrite-config.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-functions appwrite_appwrite-functions.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-influxdb appwrite_appwrite-influxdb.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-mariadb appwrite_appwrite-mariadb.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-redis appwrite_appwrite-redis.tar docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-uploads appwrite_appwrite-uploads.tar
  1. Share volumes from current machine by using web server and ngrok
python3 -m http.server 9999 # ngrok http 9999
  1. Download volumes on another machine
wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-builds.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-cache.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-certificates.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-config.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-functions.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-influxdb.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-mariadb.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-redis.tar wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-uploads.tar
  1. Import volumes data
docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-builds.tar appwrite_appwrite-builds docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-cache.tar appwrite_appwrite-cache docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-certificates.tar appwrite_appwrite-certificates docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-config.tar appwrite_appwrite-config docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-functions.tar appwrite_appwrite-functions docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-influxdb.tar appwrite_appwrite-influxdb docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-mariadb.tar appwrite_appwrite-mariadb docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-redis.tar appwrite_appwrite-redis docker-volume-snapshot restore appwrite_appwrite-uploads.tar appwrite_appwrite-uploads
  1. Start appwrite
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans --renew-anon-volumes
  1. [Optional] Follow the appwrite upgrade guide

When migrating, on clean machine restore volumes first, then run docker-compose up, the appwrite should not be started the first time. If It was, there is a cleanup script which remove everything from the docker on machine. When updating command should be executed while previous appwrite installation still running, dont stop it!

# parent_directory <= you run the command in this directory # └── appwrite # └── docker-compose.yml docker run -it --rm \ --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ --volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \ --entrypoint="upgrade" \ appwrite/appwrite:1.5.4 # appwrite <= navigate to the appwrite directory # └── docker-compose.yml cd appwrite/ docker compose exec appwrite migrate

Looks like AppWrite file endpoint is limited to 60 requests in every 1 minutes per IP address. So I added a delay, you can change it If you need to

Quite usefull when AppwriteException [Error]: The document data is missing. Try again with document data populated...

const DOCUMENT_WRITE_DELAY = 1500; const FILE_UPLOAD_DELAY = 2_000;
