Health and updates
Back up LocalAssistant from the server, not the app: the /data volume holds
everything (the SQLite database, installed integrations and camera recordings).
Snapshot or copy it with the rest of the server's backups, and keep
AUTH_SECRET with it: the secrets in the database are encrypted with it. To
copy a running database safely, use
sqlite3 /data/localassistant.sqlite ".backup /path/to/copy.sqlite", or stop
the container first.
#Health
Admin, Overview, Server shows the version and how long it has been up, the database's size and the free space on its disk (in amber under 1 GB), and whether every integration loaded.
#Updates
The worker asks GitHub once a day for LocalAssistant's latest release. When it's newer than the one running, admins see it at the top of Home and of Admin, Overview, with a link to what changed. Update the way you installed: pull the new image and restart the container.
This guide lives in the project repo: edit it there, and this page follows with the next release.
