# Forgejo Backup/Restore Drill Evidence
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Date: 2026-07-04
|
|||
|
|
Workplan: RAIL-HO-WP-0005
|
|||
|
|
Task: RAIL-HO-WP-0005-T09
|
|||
|
|
`no_secret_material_recorded: true`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Purpose
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Prove that a production `forgejo dump` can be restored into an isolated
|
|||
|
|
namespace and serve repository metadata without touching production Forgejo or
|
|||
|
|
Gitea.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Backup source
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Field | Value |
|
|||
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|||
|
|
| Method | `forgejo dump` from production pod |
|
|||
|
|
| Production pod | `forgejo-gitea-64c5b57684-ph9vt` (namespace `forgejo`) |
|
|||
|
|
| Archive path (workstation) | `/tmp/forgejo-drill/forgejo-drill-backup.zip` |
|
|||
|
|
| Archive size | 12,284,847 bytes (~11.7 MiB) |
|
|||
|
|
| Archive timestamp | 2026-07-04 11:20 +0200 |
|
|||
|
|
| Archive contents (top-level) | `repos/`, `data/`, `forgejo-db.sql`, `app.ini` |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Repos present in dump: `forgejo-actions-probe`, `glas-harness`, `key-cape`
|
|||
|
|
(all under `repos/coulomb/`).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Restore target
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Field | Value |
|
|||
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|||
|
|
| Namespace | `forgejo-restore-drill` |
|
|||
|
|
| Database | CNPG cluster `forgejo-db-restore` (isolated, 1 instance) |
|
|||
|
|
| App data PVC | `forgejo-restore-data` (`local-path`, 10Gi) |
|
|||
|
|
| Helm release | `forgejo-restore` (`gitea-charts/gitea` 12.5.0) |
|
|||
|
|
| Orchestration | `tools/forgejo-restore-drill.sh` |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Restore path (Forgejo 11.0.3 has no `forgejo restore` CLI):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Unzip dump into import pod staging area.
|
|||
|
|
2. Copy `repos/` → `/data/git/gitea-repositories/`.
|
|||
|
|
3. Copy `data/` → `/data/` (packages, attachments, avatars).
|
|||
|
|
4. Import `forgejo-db.sql` via `psql` into `forgejo-db-restore`.
|
|||
|
|
5. Deploy isolated Helm release bound to restored PVC + restore DB host.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Post-restore checks (2026-07-04)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Port-forward: `svc/forgejo-restore-gitea-http` → `127.0.0.1:13000`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Check | Result |
|
|||
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|||
|
|
| `GET /` health | HTTP 200 |
|
|||
|
|
| `GET /api/v1/repos/coulomb/glas-harness` | `full_name=coulomb/glas-harness`, `default_branch=main` |
|
|||
|
|
| `GET /api/v1/repos/coulomb/key-cape` | `full_name=coulomb/key-cape`, `default_branch=main` |
|
|||
|
|
| `GET /api/v1/orgs/coulomb/repos` | 3 repos: `forgejo-actions-probe`, `glas-harness`, `key-cape` |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Script exit marker: `restore-drill-complete`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## RPO / RTO (drill scope)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Metric | Observed / assumed |
|
|||
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|||
|
|
| RPO (manual dump) | Point-in-time of `forgejo dump` execution; no scheduled backup yet |
|
|||
|
|
| RTO (isolated restore) | ~3–5 minutes for CNPG ready + import + Helm deploy on railiance01 |
|
|||
|
|
| Production impact | None — read-only dump from running pod; separate namespace |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Gaps (not closed by this drill)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Scheduled backups:** CNPG `Backup` CRs and off-cluster target not configured
|
|||
|
|
(`kubectl cnpg` plugin absent on workstation).
|
|||
|
|
- **Encryption at rest:** dump stored locally on workstation for drill only; no
|
|||
|
|
approved backup target wired.
|
|||
|
|
- **Automation:** `forgejo dump` is manual; T04/T09 still need cron/operator
|
|||
|
|
schedule and retention policy (T02 decision).
|
|||
|
|
- **Re-run hygiene:** concurrent or repeat runs require `DRILL_CLEAN=1` to wipe
|
|||
|
|
`forgejo-restore-drill` before import (SQL import is not idempotent).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Cleanup
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After evidence capture, delete the drill namespace:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
kubectl delete namespace forgejo-restore-drill --wait=true
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Production Forgejo (`forgejo` namespace) and Gitea remain unchanged.
