Backups are configured with borg on myth.adyxax.org and end up on gcp.adyxax.org.

There is only one jobs :

How to restore

The first step is to deploy miniflux to the destination server, then I need to login with ssh and manually restore the data.

make run host=myth.adyxax.org

The container will be failing because no password is set on the database user yet, so stop it:

systemctl stop podman-miniflux

There is only one backup job for miniflux. It contains a dump of the database:

export BORG_RSH="ssh -i /etc/borg-miniflux-db.key"
borg list ssh://borg@gcp.adyxax.org/srv/borg/miniflux-db
borg extract ssh://borg@gcp.adyxax.org/srv/borg/miniflux-db::dalinar-miniflux-db-2023-11-20T00:00:01
psql -h localhost -U postgres -d miniflux

Restoring the data itself is done with the psql shell:

ALTER USER miniflux WITH PASSWORD 'XXXXXX';
\i tmp/miniflux.sql

Afterwards clean up the database dump and restart miniflux:

rm -rf tmp/
systemctl start podman-miniflux

To wrap this up, migrate the DNS records to the new host and update the monitoring system.
