Optionally reinstall Pleroma (either on the same server or on another server if you want to move servers). 2. Stop the Pleroma service. 3. Go to the working directory of Pleroma (default is `/opt/pleroma`) 4. Copy the above mentioned files back to their original position. 5. Drop the existing database if restoring in-place. `sudo -Hu postgres psql -c 'DROP DATABASE <pleroma_db>;'` 6. Restore the database schema and pleroma postgres role the with the original `setup_db.psql` if you have it: `sudo -Hu postgres psql -f config/setup_db.psql`. - Alernatively, run the `mix pleroma.instance gen` task again. You can ignore most of the questions, but make the password the same as found in your backup of `config/prod.secret.exs`. Then run the restoration of the pleroma role and schema with of the generated `config/setup_db.psql` as instructed above. You may delete the `config/generated_config.exs` file as it is not needed. + Alernatively, run the `mix pleroma.instance gen` task again.

Now restore the Pleroma instance's data into the empty database schema: `sudo -Hu postgres pg_restore -d <pleroma_db> -v -1 </path/to/backup_location/pleroma.pgdump>` 8. If you installed a newer Pleroma version, you should run `mix ecto.migrate`[^1]. This task performs database migrations, if there were any. |
