My YunoHost server
Hardware: Fujitsu Esprimo Q920, Intel core i5-4590T, 16GB RAM, 256GB+8TB internal SSDs, 12TB+4TB external HDDs
YunoHost version: 11.2.17.1
I have access to my server : Through SSH | through the webadmin | direct access via keyboard / screen
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : yes
If yes, please explain: added task-xfce-desktop which is not active unless I start it (for a short period of time usually), added printerserver functionality, the internal 256 GB SSD holds the standard yunohost installation except for /home/yunohost.app and /home/yunohost.multimedia, which are mounted on the otherwise empty internal 8TB SSD, and the /home/yunohost.backup is mounted on an external 12TB HDD.
Description of my issue
tl;dr: How do I extract the data of a single app from the backup .tar files?
Hi!
My last installation of yunohost went offline for no obvious reason and wouldn’t let me restart nginx at all. Since I wanted to reinstall yunohost anyway with a 2nd internal drive and a bigger boot partition (so I wouldn’t have to sudo apt autoremove on an almost daily basis), I didn’t try too hard to fix the nginx/systemd problem but make a clean install instead. (I have a clone of the old one though.)
I added the extra drives to the fstab and mounted yunohost.app, yunohost.multimedia and yunohost.backup as bind, so the system will use them as if they were all on the same drive. Then checked to make sure they’re working correctly. Next I tried to start the restore of the backup of a single app (Glitch-soc) which is 21GB according to the backup menu in yunohost.
When I click “wiederherstellen” (I guess that’s restore in the english yunohost translation), there’s an error message telling me, the backup is too big, claiming it would need about 4TB while I allegedly only had 3,8TB left on the drive. (The newly formatted and partitioned so far unused 8TB that is.)
I really don’t care about the rest of the backup, there’s nothing of importance there. But losing my Glitch-soc instance would be painful.
My actual question is: Is there any way to extract the relevant data from the backup .tar files so I can add them manually to a new installation of Glitch-soc on my newly installed server?
(I’m not sure whether this counts as general support or app support. If I’m in the wrong place please bear with me and move the post into the correct category, please. Thank you!)
