Backup podman container

Summary
  • Stop PMM Server.
  • Backup the data.

Important

Grafana plugins have been moved to the data volume /srv since the 2.23.0 version. So if you are upgrading PMM from any version before 2.23.0 and have installed additional plugins then plugins should be installed again after the upgrade. To check used grafana plugins: podman exec -it pmm-server ls /var/lib/grafana/plugins

To back up your container:

  1. Stop PMM Server.

    systemctl --user stop pmm-server

  2. Backup the data.

    podman volume export pmm-server --output pmm-server-backup.tar

    Important

    If you changed the default name to PMM_VOLUME_NAME environment variable, use that name after export instead of pmm-server (which is the default volume name).
