Database import

While indexing might need multiple hours for larger repositories, one might want to export/import an already available database. This can be done by using the following commands.

Export

Using arangodump:

arangodump --output-directory "dump" --server.database <db-name> --server.username <username> --server-password <userpassword>

Import

Using arangorestore:

arangorestore --input-directory "dump" --server.database <db-name> --server.username <username> --server-password <userpassword

Index

To index everything call localhost:8080/api/setup. Dependent on the size of the repository and history this can take multiple hours!
