[Feature]: Coolify backup and restore

[cruonline]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Summary

It would be awesome if we could create backup of Coolify configuration to easily redeploy to new host/instance

Why should this be worked on?

This would allow easy recovery, host migration or even infrastructure-as-a-code integration.

An additional feature for backing up the specific app (or db) with volumes would also be great, but I would consider it another feature.

Not a solution to the problem, but I could not find any documentation on how Coolify save data or how I can make a backup manually. So I tried to summarize my findings so far here

Thanks for your write up @punnerud - very helpful :)

Just to add my +1 that the ability to export all app configs as a file, and then import it into a fresh Coolify instance to spin up all services in bulk, would be incredibly useful (even if app data/ volumes weren't included).

Right now, it looks like the data in the SQLite DB links directly to running containers on disk, which means this feature is easier said than done. I'd be happy to help work on this, if @andrasbacsai has any suggestions on how it should best be implemented?

And, thank you Andras for all your work on Coolify, have been really enjoying it :)

It will be available in v4.

I'm closing this issue, because tracking features will be moved to GitHub discussions. Github issues will be only for bugs.

Version 4 is in full focus. v3 related issues will be closed, if it is not a critical bug.

Thanks for your understanding.
