Lost runtipi config - apps working!
Hi, testing runtipi and had a major issue I am trying to recover from or at least understand.
I understand is related to the fact that I by mistake installed runtipi at /home/luison/runtipi, so stopped everything and adjusted the .env file of runtipi and modified:
ROOT_FOLDER_HOST=/home/runtipi
and restarted. Everything seemed to work fine so installed a few apps and started configuring.
I now realised there was still a folder at the original install folder /home/luison/runtipi which i guessed old and deleted that.
Since doing that I first lost my dashboard "page not found" from traeffik and then after restart I got a new "first start" screen to register my account.
I did and now have a blank dashboard but all the apps remain running. The original source folder now regenerated an app-data dir for one of the running apps.
Anything I can do to recover?
Is modifiyng the .env root for runtipi not enough if one has already installed any apps?
What do I need to backup from runtipi config so this does not happens again in the future?
Thanks.1 Reply
Hello, you can either move the old folder to the new location (app-data) or change the settings.json field appDataDir
You won’t see the apps in your dashboard but you can install them again and the existing data will be picked up
Make sure to have a backup of everything before manipulating the files
