Restore a physical backup
Recover a physical base backup into an isolated Docker PostgreSQL container.
$acrynite restore run \$ --backup-id <backup-id> \$ --target docker
What the workflow does
- Downloads the base backup and associated WAL archive into a local recovery directory.
- Prepares PostgreSQL recovery configuration, including
recovery.signal. - Starts an isolated Docker PostgreSQL container.
- Replays WAL to the requested recovery point, where one is specified.
The workflow does not overwrite the source cluster, and it does not publish a port unless requested.
Optional container settings
--container-name <name>--publish-port 55432
Published ports bind to 127.0.0.1:<port>, not a public interface. Acrynite selects a postgres:<major> image when the source PostgreSQL version is known.
Docker must be running
PostgreSQL may stop recovery if required WAL segments are missing or the timeline is incompatible. A running container is not, on its own, proof of a successful application-level recovery.
