### Restoring the DB ### Restoring the DB
If you need to restore from a `pg_dumpall` file, you need to first clear out your existing database To restore, run:
```bash
docker-compose up -d postgres
# Restore from the .sql.gz backup
gunzip < db_dump.sql | docker-compose exec -T postgres psql -U lemmy
```
If you've accidentally already started the lemmy service, you need to clear out your existing database:
```bash ```bash
# Drop the existing DB # Drop the existing DB
docker exec -i FOLDERNAME_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE; CREATE SCHEMA public;" docker exec -i FOLDERNAME_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -c "DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE; CREATE SCHEMA public;"
# Restore from the .sql.gz backup
gunzip < db_dump.sql | docker exec -i FOLDERNAME_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy # restores the db
# This also might be necessary when doing a db import with a different password. # This also might be necessary when doing a db import with a different password.
docker exec -i FOLDERNAME_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -c "alter user lemmy with password 'bleh'" docker exec -i FOLDERNAME_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -c "alter user lemmy with password 'bleh'"
``` ```
Then run the restore commands above.
