Common tasks for operating self-hosted server

Upgrade Obico Server​

    cd obico-server
    git checkout release
    git pull
    docker compose up --build -d

Note: if you are on linux you will have to run the last line as sudo (ex. sudo docker...)

Note: you need to use docker-compose instead of docker compose on older Docker versions

Backup database​

Just make a copy of obico-server/backend/db.sqlite3

Access timelapses stored on your server​

Although you can simply download the timelapses from either the web interface or the mobile app, it may be important to know exactly where the timelapses are stored on your local machine.

Path to timelapses:

obico-server/backend/static_build/media/tsd-timelapses/private/
