Backup & Maintenance¶

Regular backups and maintenance are essential for a production MedUX installation.

Warning

MedUX is in pre-alpha. Backup and maintenance procedures will be documented in detail once the system is production-ready.

Database Backup¶

For PostgreSQL, use pg_dump to create regular backups:

pg_dump -U medux medux > medux_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql

Automate this with a cron job or systemd timer.

Back up the MEDIA_ROOT directory, which contains uploaded files.

To update MedUX:

uv add medux --upgrade
medux migrate
medux syncplugins
medux collectstatic

Warning

While MedUX is pre-alpha, updates may include breaking changes. Always back up your database before updating.
