Updates and backups

Update

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

The API applies any database changes when it starts. To stay on a specific release instead of the latest, set WM_VERSION in .env, for example WM_VERSION=1.4.

Back up

Everything that matters is in the Postgres database, plus the MinIO volume if you use the bundled storage.

docker compose exec -T postgres pg_dump -U wondermoney -Fc wondermoney > wondermoney-$(date +%F).dump

Keep a copy of .env with your backups. CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY_V1 encrypts the bank credentials people store, and a restored database can't use them without it. Store the backups somewhere other than the server itself.

Restore

Stop the app, recreate the database, load the dump and start again:

docker compose stop api worker web
docker compose exec -T postgres dropdb -U wondermoney wondermoney
docker compose exec -T postgres createdb -U wondermoney wondermoney
docker compose exec -T postgres pg_restore -U wondermoney -d wondermoney < wondermoney-2026-10-01.dump
docker compose up -d

If you changed POSTGRES_USER or POSTGRES_DB in .env, use those values instead of wondermoney.
