The DBS manager

The DBS manager is a separate application in the same package. Run it on your own machine with:

django_dbs run

It opens in your browser and looks after many servers over SSH: it takes and pulls their backups, keeps their .env versions and folder archives, and can restore a project onto a new server when the old one goes down.

Letting it reach this project

  1. Open Connection and press Copy.
  2. In the manager, choose Add a server and paste the snippet.
  3. Confirm the host key fingerprint matches the one shown on the Connection page.
  4. Add the key the manager shows to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for the user that owns this project.

This project never contacts the manager and keeps nothing about it. A backup the manager asks for is written to DBS_BACKUP_DIR and recorded in the audit trail like any other backup.
