How to import an ejabberd dump?

[rroemhild]

Hi,

to store your own configuration you can use this image as base-image and overwrite the config-template-files:

FROM rroemhild/ejabberd
ADD ./ejabberd.yml /opt/ejabberd/conf/ejabberd.yml.tpl
ADD ./ejabberdctl.cfg /opt/ejabberd/conf/ejabberdctl.cfg.tpl

To restore from your previous installation you have to copy the dumpfile to a running container with docker cp by hand and restore from the webgui or with the ejabberdctl tool, but I've not tested this yet.

I can add an startup restore script to automate this. Maybe by pulling the dumpfile with curl from an URL defined in the environment. Would this be helpful?

If add a Maintenance section to readme for backup and restore. This should also work for dump and load, but I've not tested this yet. Feel free to reopen this issue. Regards.

I didn't have the opportunity to try this, but I wanted to thank you. 🙇
