Restoring backup to Docker container

[tolclayton (Colin)]

Version 2.0.0p17.cre
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Docker 20.10.7

I have a instance of Check_MK raw running and I want to migrate it to a container.
I have performed a backup of my current site.
I have spun up a docker container of the same version.
When I try the restore on the website I get this:

2022-01-18 23:34:26 --- Starting restore (bkup) ---

Site restore failed

When I log in to the container and try the restore with the OMD site user it also fails.

I have used the same docker run command that is in the documentation.

I tried this with setting the tmpfs setting on and off in the omd config. No change.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Your post may be duplicate, have a look here: Probleme mit der Migration zu Docker

Also: Why do you want to use Docker? Is there a real use case, or is it just fancy?

[tolclayton (Colin)]

I tried what the link mentioned.

Turned of the tmpfs on the full cmk server
Ran a backup.
Turned off the tmpfs on the docker container.
tried to run the restore from the web interface. Got the following error.

Site restore failed

I tried to run the restore from the command line inside the docker container.
Got the following failure.

The reason I am using docker is that I have multiple small linux web apps that I want to run. Currently I only have physical resources to run a single Linux VM (Very small IT shop). I want to keep the apps operating as independent as I can while operating on a single Linux VM.

Is it possible to restore a full install backup to docker container?

[robin.gierse]

I think there are limitations, but that is really not my topic.
Personally I can only suggest installing Checkmk directly into your Ubuntu host.
But this is all just my opinion, maybe someone else can provide more profound technical insight.

I’m facing same issue.

@tolclayton did you managed to restore your site into docker?
