Minimalistic Appwrite schema dumper with data backup, restore features
This backup tool will generate query for each document in AppWrite database and save them as a json files on a hard drive. That means It can handle as much documents as you need. Also there is a script to run AppWrite in Docker on localhost so you can test your backup. Build on top of AsyncGenerator API
Got a question? Feel free to ask It in issues, I need traffic
Note
Free forever. Crontab ready
Important
There is another project named react-declarative build especially for AppWrite Realtime development. ⭐Star and 💻Fork It on github will be appreciated
- Install Appwrite CLI and login
Windows
npm install -g appwrite-cli
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned # In PowerShell as Administrator
appwrite client --endpoint https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1
appwrite login
Linux
sudo npm config set unsafe-perm true
sudo npm install -g appwrite-cli
appwrite client --endpoint https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1
appwrite login
- [BACKUP, RESTORE] Write
.env
config in the root (/appwrite-backup-tool-main/.env
) by using .env.example
APPWRITE_ENDPOINT=https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1
APPWRITE_PROJECT_ID=64b53d0c41fcf5093b12
APPWRITE_API_KEY=****
APPWRITE_SELF_SIGNED=1
- [RESTORE] Copy
appwrite.json
to the root (collections schema). See https://appwrite.io/docs/tooling/command-line/deployment
Crossplatform
npx -y rimraf backup
npm run appwrite:backup
- Deploy all local data to AppWrite server (clear installation is optional but recommended)
Crossplatform
npm run appwrite:restore
- Dump currend DB schema
Windows
npm run appwrite:fetch:windows
Linux
npm run appwrite:fetch
- Push new DB schema to AppWrite instance
Windows
npm run appwrite:push:windows
Linux
npm run appwrite:push
- Show changed collection attributes by comparing
appwrite.json
andappwrite.prev.json
Crossplatform
npm run appwrite:diff
- Output
...
COLLECTION APARTMENT
ADD rent_kom_menedzher_unit
ADD rent_kom_agency_unit
ADD rent_kom_kommisiya_agenstva

- Run AppWrite with Docker Compose
Windows
npx -y open-cli http://localhost:8080/
npm run appwrite:start:windows
Linux
npx -y open-cli http://localhost:8080/
npm run appwrite:start
- Authorize CLI in Docker AppWrite instance
Crossplatform
appwrite client --selfSigned true --endpoint http://localhost:8080/v1
appwrite login
- Start AppWrite self-hosted instance (after
.env
changed)
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans --renew-anon-volumes
- Stop AppWrite self-hosted instance
docker-compose down
- Uninstall AppWrite by removing all volumes and containers (clean install). Also remove networks to avoid mariadb DNS lookup error when downgrade from higher version of AppWrite to lower
docker stop $(docker ps --filter status=running -q)
docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q --filter dangling=true)
docker rmi $(docker images -a -q)
docker network prune --force --filter until=1s
- Install docker-volume-snapshot
sudo curl -SL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junedkhatri31/docker-volume-snapshot/main/docker-volume-snapshot -o /usr/local/bin/docker-volume-snapshot
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-volume-snapshot
- List volumes and export them
docker volume list
# appwrite_appwrite-builds
# appwrite_appwrite-cache
# appwrite_appwrite-certificates
# appwrite_appwrite-config
# appwrite_appwrite-functions
# appwrite_appwrite-influxdb
# appwrite_appwrite-mariadb
# appwrite_appwrite-redis
# appwrite_appwrite-uploads
- Export volumes from current machine
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-builds appwrite_appwrite-builds.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-cache appwrite_appwrite-cache.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-certificates appwrite_appwrite-certificates.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-config appwrite_appwrite-config.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-functions appwrite_appwrite-functions.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-influxdb appwrite_appwrite-influxdb.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-mariadb appwrite_appwrite-mariadb.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-redis appwrite_appwrite-redis.tar
docker-volume-snapshot create appwrite_appwrite-uploads appwrite_appwrite-uploads.tar
- Share volumes from current machine by using web server and ngrok
python3 -m http.server 9999
# ngrok http 9999
- Download volumes on another machine
wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-builds.tar
wget http://192.168.1.131:9999/appwrite_appwrite-cache.tar

- Start appwrite
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans --renew-anon-volumes
- [Optional] Follow the appwrite upgrade guide
When migrating, on clean machine restore volumes first, then run
docker-compose up
, the appwrite should not be started the first time. If It was, there is a cleanup script which remove everything from the docker on machine. When updating command should be executed while previous appwrite installation still running, dont stop it!
# parent_directory <= you run the command in this directory
# └── appwrite
# └── docker-compose.yml
docker run -it --rm \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
--entrypoint="upgrade" \
appwrite/appwrite:1.5.4
# appwrite <= navigate to the appwrite directory
# └── docker-compose.yml
cd appwrite/
docker compose exec appwrite migrate
Looks like AppWrite file endpoint is limited to 60 requests in every 1 minutes per IP address
. So I added a delay, you can change it If you need to
Quite usefull when
AppwriteException [Error]: The document data is missing. Try again with document data populated
...
const DOCUMENT_WRITE_DELAY = 1500;
const FILE_UPLOAD_DELAY = 2_000;
