I want to backup my confluence data in NAS.

최재경

hello, I had used confluence server under synology docker environments.

but after I moved into another place, I couldn't access my confluence server.

and I checked my confluence account was expired.

so I want to backup my contents in confluence and delete it.

how can I do that? please help me.

Hi @최재경 Welcome to Atlassian Community!

XML METHOD

You can create ad hoc backup of your confluence in xml format and copy it outside your container. To do so, just log into Confluence, go to administration -> Backup & Restore section -> make sure that Include attachments is selected and click Export

Then just copy generated xml file outside of your container by backuping attached volume (if you have home directory mounted on external volume) or using command to copy files between container and host (something like: docker cp <container-id>:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence /host/path/target )

GENERIC METHOD

You can also backup using native db methods like pg_dump and file copy. To backup confluence this method (prefered in production environment) you need to backup database and home directory. So we need to know how have you configured this directory and db connection.

Home Directory:
First check, on your Synology docker app, details of your confluence container configuration. In Overview tab you should see where is your install and home directory. There is also information if you have configured volumes for those paths (recommended). Check the screenshot below.

If you have configured volumes when you create this container (like home directory on my example screenshot), just backup this volume on your Synology (docker/confluence in my example).
If you haven't configured it, you can copy files from container to host using this command:
docker cp atlassian-confluence-server1:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence /host/path/target
or by stoping container and attach new volume mount to it.

Database:

Backup of your db depends on database you have choosen during Confluence installation. First check what db are you using. You can check it in confluence administration page in System information section:

Depending on what you find there you can take different actions to backup database like native db backup utilities pg_dump (probably your db server is also working on docker container and you can just backup volume attached to its data directory to make a full copy of databases).

I hope this instructions will help you - unfortunatelly without more knowledge of configuration of your environment I cannot provide you more detailed instructions on how to make a copy/backup.

Best regards,

Piotr
