Note: This workflow applies to Image Artist version 1.5, which is the latest release at the time of writing.
For procedures related to earlier versions, refer to the Installation and Administration Guide for your version.
Before proceeding, it is strongly recommended that you perform a full server backup, such as a system image or virtual machine snapshot.
If a full backup is not possible, ensure that the following critical components are backed up.
1. Docker Configurations
Located in the Image Artist base directory.
Back up the following directories in their entirety:
Docker Secrets
.secrets/
Docker Configurations
configs/
2. Image Artist Configuration Files
Located in the Image Artist base directory.
Back up the following files:
custom.env.envdocker-compose-custom.yml
3. Image Artist Database
Back up all PostgreSQL database backup files located in:
/SImA/db_backup/[most_recent_timestamp]
Ensure that all *.sql files within the most recent backup directory are preserved.
For additional guidance, see: Image Artist: Backing up the Postgres databases
4. Payload data
MinIO Storage
MINIO_VOLUME_PATH_NEW_FS .env file.Amazon S3 or S3-Compatible Storage
custom.env:- Bucket specified by
DATA_BUCKET_ORIGINAL - Bucket specified by
DATA_BUCKET_SIMA
In addition, back up:
- Any external buckets configured for use with Image Artist
Backup Checklist
At a minimum, verify that you have backed up:
- Full server image or snapshot (recommended)
-
.secrets/directory -
configs/directory custom.env.envdocker-compose-custom.yml- Latest PostgreSQL
*.sqlbackups - All payload storage (MinIO, S3, and any configured external buckets)
Failure to back up these components may result in the loss of application configuration, database content, or stored payload data during upgrade or recovery operations.
