Restore tenant assets from TAR in KOTS

Follow this process when you have an existing cluster and want to save your tenant assets on an external storage device.

Requirements

  • In EFS, the tenant assets must be backed up in a TAR file and restored once EFS has been configured.

  • Make sure that you use our process to create the TAR file; the restore commands expect a TAR file with a certain structure.

To restore tenant assets:

  1. Set an environment variable with your tenant name:

    export TENANT_NAME=jama

  2. Copy the TAR file from its current location to a master node:

    scp assets.tar.gz <user>@<ip-master-node>:~/assets.tar.gz

  3. Log in to the master node and extract the TAR file:

    tar -xvzf assets.tar.gz

  4. Copy the assets to a core pod:

    cd assets
kubectl cp -c core . default/core-0:/home/contour/tenant/${TENANT_NAME}/
kubectl exec --tty -c core pods/core-0 -- chmod -R 755 /home/contour
kubectl exec --tty -c core pods/core-0 -- chown -R tomcat:tomcat /home/contour

  5. Verify that the assets were copied:

    kubectl exec --tty -c core pods/core-0 -- ls -la /home/contour/tenant/${TENANT_NAME}/
kubectl exec --tty -c core pods/core-0 -- du -shc /home/contour/tenant/${TENANT_NAME}/
