Add a CLI feature to backup the SQLite DB #4906
Conversation
Many users request to add the sqlite3 binary to the container image. This isn't really ideal as that might bring in other dependencies and will only bloat the image. There main reason is to create a backup of the database. While there already was a feature within the admin interface to do so (or by using the admin API call), this might not be easy. This PR adds several ways to generate a backup. 1. By calling the Vaultwarden binary with the `backup` command like: - `/vaultwarden backup` - `docker exec -it vaultwarden /vaultwarden backup` 2. By sending the USR1 signal to the running process like: - `kill -s USR1 $(pidof vaultwarden) - `killall -s USR1 vaultwarden) This should help users to more easily create backups of there SQLite database. Also added the Web-Vault version number when using `-v/--version` to the output. Signed-off-by: BlackDex <black.dex@gmail.com>

It only covers the database currently. So i would suggest to keep using that tool. |
Makes complete sense, thank you |

@dani-garcia do you mind updating backup section in the wiki to mention this command? If I wouldn't follow release changelogs I'd never know it is there. |
You may do that your self if you want. The wiki van be adjusted by everybody. |

@BlackDex I've updated it but am surpirsed there is no pre-moderation for such changes. Hopefully my changes are fine. Thank you! |
