Backups ​

Scheduled database backups could be configured for PostgreSQL and for Coolify itself.

This schedules are based on cron expressions, so you can configure them to run as often as you want.

You can also use simple cron expressions like:

js
const VALID_CRON_STRINGS = [
    'every_minute' => '* * * * *',
    'hourly' => '0 * * * *',
    'daily' => '0 0 * * *',
    'weekly' => '0 0 * * 0',
    'monthly' => '0 0 1 * *',
    'yearly' => '0 0 1 1 *',
];

PostgreSQL ​

Coolify creates a full backup of your PostgreSQL databases. You can specify which database to backup, with a comma separated list.

Tip

Coolify own database is also backed up using this method.

Backup command ​

bash
pg_dump --format=custom --no-acl --no-owner --username <username> <databaseName>

Restore command ​

The backup has custom format, so you can restore it using the following command (or with any equivalent tool):

bash
pg_restore --verbose --clean -h localhost -U postgres -d postgres pg-dump-postgres-1697207547.dmp

MySQL ​

bash
mysqldump -u root -p <password> <datatabaseName>

MariaDB ​

bash
mariadb-dump -u root -p <password> <datatabaseName>

MongoDB ​

bash
mongodump --authenticationDatabase=admin --uri=<uri> --gzip --archive=<archive>

Or if you exclude some collections:

bash
mongodump --authenticationDatabase=admin --uri=<uri> --gzip --archive=<archive> --excludeCollection=<collectionName> --excludeCollection=<collectionName>

S3 Backups ​

You can also define your own S3 compatible storage to store your backups.
