https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36325662/how-to-backup-and-restore-open-edx-from-one-server-to-other

Backing up:

mysqldump edxapp -u root --single-transaction > backup/backup.sql
mongodump --db edxapp
mongodump --db cs_comments_service_development

Restoring:

mysql -u root edxapp < backup.sql
mongo edxapp --eval "db.dropDatabase()"
mongorestore dump/

More detail (backup / restrore)

https://github.com/alikhil/open-edx-configuring/blob/master/README.md#backuping-server-and-restoring-it-on-another-machine

Backuping server and restoring it on another machine

Idea is the same as in BluePlanetLife/openedx-server-prep.

On first machine, where server is running now:

mkdir backup

backing up mysql db

mysqldump edxapp -u root --single-transaction > backup/backup.sql
cd backup

backing up mongo db

mongodump --db edxapp
mongodump --db cs_comments_service_development
cd ..

Packing it to single file for easy copying to second sever

tar -zcvf backup.tar.gz backup/

Now, copy backup.tar.gz to second server. For example using scp:

scp backup.tar.gz root@second-server-ip:~/backup.tar.gz

And then restore backup on second machine:

unpacking

tar -zxvf backup.tar.gz
cd backup

restoring mysql

mysql -u root edxapp < backup.sql

cleaning up mongo db and restoring

mongo edxapp --eval "db.dropDatabase()"
mongorestore dump/

Example to re-run Ansible playbook after the build:

cd /var/tmp/configuration/playbooks
    sudo ansible-playbook -c local ./edx_sandbox.yml -i "localhost," \
        -e NGINX_ENABLE_SSL=True \
        -e NGINX_SSL_CERTIFICATE=<path> \
        -e NGINX_SSL_KEY=<path>

CMS Custom Theming: to update static assets, like the logo in the page header for example

  sudo -H -u edxapp bash
  source /edx/app/edxapp/edxapp_env
  cd /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform
  paver update_assets cms --settings=aws
  paver update_assets lms --settings=aws

Lets Encrypt

Note that the issue/update procedure changed certbot/certbot#5405

sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --pre-hook "service nginx stop" --post-hook "service nginx start"

Certificate:

/etc/letsencrypt/live/educacion.atentamente.mx/fullchain.pem

Key file has been saved at:

/etc/letsencrypt/live/educacion.atentamente.mx/privkey.pem

Your cert will expire on 2018-03-11. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again with the "certonly" option. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run "certbot renew"

Install certbot and get a certificate for your Open EdX instance. Note that you will probably have to include several CN's or get several certificates, for example for the subdomains you have for studio, preview, etc. Find out where Certbot places your certificates, and remember that location. Next, we will add the certificate path to server-vars.yml so the update script can place them in the correct location:

NGINX_ENABLE_SSL: True
NGINX_REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS: True
NGINX_SSL_CERTIFICATE: '/etc/letsencrypt/live/educacion.atentamente.mx/fullchain.pem'
NGINX_SSL_KEY: '/etc/letsencrypt/live/educacion.atentamente.mx/privkey.pem'

Automating renewal

The Certbot packages on your system come with a cron job that will renew your certificates automatically before they expire. Since Let's Encrypt certificates last for 90 days, it's highly advisable to take advantage of this feature. You can test automatic renewal for your certificates by running this command:

sudo certbot renew --dry-run

If that appears to be working correctly, you can arrange for automatic renewal by adding a cron or systemd job which runs the following:

certbot renew

More detailed information and options about renewal can be found in the full documentation.
