Backup

Everything durable is under CRAFTSPACE_HOME, which is the /data volume in the container. Snapshot that and you have the install: the database, the generated secrets, the unpacked assets.
A backup of that volume is a full credential compromise if it leaks. The sealing key that opens your connection credentials lives in the same database as the sealed credentials themselves, so a dump carries both halves. Treat it as being as sensitive as every vendor token inside it: encrypt it at rest, and keep it off shared storage.

Upgrade

From the Settings screen, an install running under craftspace supervise can download a newer release, health-check it and point back at the previous binary if the new one never answers. With Docker, pull the new tag and recreate the container. The volume carries everything across.

Rolling back

Safe, and worth knowing why. Migrations run as one transaction on Postgres, so a migration that throws leaves the schema exactly where it was and the old version keeps serving. Two consequences follow from that, and they are the rules a release has to obey:
  • Putting the old image back genuinely recovers the box.
  • A release may only add what the previous release reads, never remove it, or the rolled-back code meets a schema it cannot use.
