Backups of Caravel

[Frituurpanda]

Hi all,

I know that this probably is a very trivial question but how do you guys backup all the work done in Caravel. Say I wanted to export the dashboards, settings and users and import those in another Caravel instance.

Does anyone know how to export/copy that data?

Thanks in advance!

That should be stored in the caravel database. By default that is a sqlite db in /tmp/caravel.db.

This is pointed to with the SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI setting in caravel/config.py.

Thanks for the reply Josh. I indeed already moved the caravel.db out of the /tmp/ to make it persist when the instance crashes. Am I correct in assuming that all of the caravel configuration and data is in that caravel.db file?

[joshwalters]

Yes, I think all the config data will be in that database (users, slices, etc).

Allright Josh. I pulled the file, uploaded it to another instance and it works. Thanks heaps!
