Feature Request: Export Hosted Database

Open ryant360 opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

Love this project! I've successfully run three races with it (fourth coming up soon) and I've converted two other packs to using it.

We don't have great connectivity at our derby location, so we typically run on a closed LAN.

But in the time leading up to the derby, we'd love to take advantage of the hosted option for several features (photos, check-in, voting) so we don't have to expose our local server to the internet. We'd like to be able to then export from the hosted server and import it on our local server for race day.

Login and go to about and you can export a snapshot of the loaded database. The hyperlink is on the top right of about. Then on the local computer go to set up and click the little button to import database and select the xml file you downloaded as the database snapshot. It will overwrite all of the data of the current loaded database.

I like the docker way, makes it much more simplistic to just copy the files from one server to another with scp from the command line.

The exported database doesn't include the car and racer photos, which are probably a key requirement here.
