canasta backup databases

Manage which databases a wiki's backup captures

Synopsis

Manage the databases a wiki's backup dumps. Every backup includes the wiki's own database; these subcommands add and remove the extra ones, for data an extension keeps in a database of its own (Cargo's $wgCargoDBname).

A wiki and its extra databases are dumped by one mariadb-dump call, so they share a transaction and are captured at the same moment. The declaration lives in config/wikis.yaml and is carried by backups and gitops alike.

Subcommands

This command requires a subcommand:

add — Include another database in a wiki's backups
list — Show which databases each wiki's backup dumps
remove — Stop including a database in a wiki's backups
