Restore¶
Info
Just like the initial install, these instructions are assuming you are running as root until told otherwise below.
Dependencies¶
Start by installing dependencies.
curl -sL https://install.saltbox.dev | sudo -H bash; cd /srv/git/saltbox
wget -qO- https://install.saltbox.dev | sudo -H bash; cd /srv/git/saltbox
curl -sL https://install.saltbox.dev | sudo -H bash -s -- -v; cd /srv/git/saltbox
wget -qO- https://install.saltbox.dev | sudo -H bash -s -- -v; cd /srv/git/saltbox
Then retrieve the configuration files from a backup.
Using Restore Service¶
curl -sL https://restore.saltbox.dev | bash -s 'USERNAME' 'PASSWORD' # (1)!
-
Use the username and password defined for the service when last backup was executed.
Must wrap the username and password in quotes.
wget -qO- https://restore.saltbox.dev | bash -s 'USERNAME' 'PASSWORD' # (1)!
-
Use the username and password defined for the service when last backup was executed.
Must wrap the username and password in quotes.
Then run preinstall which will setup the user account and a few other dependencies for the restore.
sb install preinstall
Info
From this point you'll want to make sure you run commands as the user specified in the accounts.yml
Info
If you are using a service account to authenticate the rclone remote that holds the backup, you will need to put that SA JSON file in place manually so that the restore process can authenticate the remote to download the rest of the backup.
Start the restore process.
sb install restore
Once succesfully completed you can now follow the installation guide from this step.
Without Restore Service¶
Retrieve the following configuration files from your backup manually and place them in /srv/git/saltbox:
- accounts.yml
- settings.yml
- adv_settings.yml
- backup_config.yml
- providers.yml
- hetzner_nfs.yml
- rclone.conf
- localhost.yml
Then run preinstall which will setup the user account and a few other dependencies for the restore.
sb install preinstall

sb install restore
Once successfully completed you can now continue:
If you are migrating from one server to another, return to the migration guide
If you are restoring to the same server, you can now follow the installation guide from this step.
