Not really a Metabase question, but hopefully ya’ll have had experience with this.
So, I never set my Metabase container to use a local folder. I spent weeks fine tuning reports and such. Yesterday I accidentally hit a button in Kitematic and that triggered the container to rebuild. So… all the config and such is reset.
I’m still pretty new with docker and how it all works. I have hourly backups of my machine in TimeMachine, but just struggling to figure out what files I would need restore. Anyone know where the docker volumes are stored in MacOS?
Looking more into it… it looks like I’m out of luck. Apparently I did not have the check box “Include Containers in Timemachine” checked… sooooo… Looks like I’m gonna be starting over!
At the very least volume map your H2 files outside the containers (and you don’t need to tickmark doing Time-machine on your containers as they don’t contain any of your data.
or – even more robust for a production setup, consider setting up Postgres (or alternatively MySQL as your application database)
Both of these points are described further down on that page I linked to above!
