Backup & restore

OpenFishing has built-in backup and restore as downloadable/uploadable ZIP archives.

Per-user backup & restore

From /settings, any user can back up and restore their own data — their lures, spots, catches and tackle, plus the associated uploads.

Admin full-instance backup & restore

From the admin panel at /settings/admin, an admin can back up and restore the entire instance — all users and accounts included.

Caution

A restore-all performs a full wipe and rebuild of the instance: existing data is replaced by the contents of the archive. Take a fresh backup first.

Archive format

A backup is a ZIP containing:

• backup.json — the structured data (records).
• uploads/ — the associated photo files.

Because it’s a plain ZIP, you can store it anywhere and inspect it if needed.

• Remember that the live database and uploads must be on persistent volumes — backups complement, but don’t replace, proper volumes.
