Howdy! I’ve just installed HedgeDoc 1.10.1; so far so good, but I don’t know how to do things like saying which users can and can’t register, seeing who is registered, backing up the (postgresql) database, etc. Is there a systems administration guide to HedgeDoc somewhere that I missed? Is there an administration webpage that I missed in the installed instance?
Hi @pmetzger,
for backing up the database, see the information here: https://docs.hedgedoc.org/setup/docker/#backup. Essentially it’s just creating a dump and importing that again in case of disaster recovery. Do not forget to back up your uploads too, depending on which file storage backend you use, you need to follow that system’s information (for example for S3, Azure, …). If you store uploads as local files on the disk, just integrate that directory into your backup solution.
Regarding the other admin things, there’s currently not much other than manual peeking into the database. An admin panel will be added to HedgeDoc 2.x later on, but not directly to 2.0 as the scope for 2.0 is already big enough. The feature is tracked here on GitHub in case you want to subscribe to notifications for that issue: Admin GUI · Issue #2761 · hedgedoc/hedgedoc · GitHub.
