feat: improve config backup and update and revert (#737)
Improve the backup of the EOS configuration on configuration migration
from another version. Backup files now get a backup id based on date
and time.

Add the configuration backup listing and the revert to the backup to
the EOS api.

Add revert to backup to the EOSdash admin tab.

Improve documentation about install, update and revert of EOS versions.

Add EOS execution profiling to make commands and to test description in
the development guideline.

Revert Guide

This guide explains how to revert AkkudoktorEOS to a previous version. The exact methods and steps differ depending on how EOS was installed:

  • M1/M2: Reverting when Installed from Source or Release Package
  • M3/M4: Reverting when Installed via Docker

:::{admonition} Important :class: warning Before reverting, ensure you have a backup of your EOS.config.json. EOS also maintains internal configuration backups that can be restored after a downgrade. :::

:::{admonition} Tip :class: Note If you need to update instead, see the Update Guideline. :::

Revert to a Previous Version of EOS

You can revert to a previous version using the same installation method you originally selected. See: Installation Guideline

Reverting when Installed from Source or Release Package (M1/M2)

1) Locate the target version (M2)

Go to the GitHub Releases page:

https://github.com/Akkudoktor-EOS/EOS/tags

2) Download or check out that version (M1/M2)

Git (source) (M1)

git fetch
git checkout v<version>

Example:

git checkout v0.1.0

Then reinstall dependencies:

.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

Release package (M2)

Download and extract the desired ZIP or TAR release. Refer to Method 2 in the Installation Guideline.

3) Restart EOS (M1/M2)

.venv/bin/python -m akkudoktoreos.server.eos

4) Restore configuration (optional) (M1/M2)

If your configuration changed since the downgrade, you may restore a previous backup:

  • via EOSdash

    Admin → configuration → Revert to backup

    or

    Admin → configuration → Import from file

  • via REST

    curl -X PUT "http://<host>:8503/v1/config/revert?backup_id=<backup>"
    

Reverting when Installed via Docker (M3/M4)

1) Pull the desired image version (M3/M4)

docker pull akkudoktor/eos:v<version>

Example:

docker pull akkudoktor/eos:v0.1.0

2) Stop and remove the current container (M3/M4)

docker stop akkudoktoreos
docker rm akkudoktoreos

3) Start a container with the selected version (M3/M4)

Start EOS as usual, using your existing docker run or docker compose setup (see Method 3 or Method 4 in the Installation Guideline).

4) Restore configuration (optional) (M3/M4)

In many cases configuration will migrate automatically. If needed, you may restore a configuration backup:

  • via EOSdash

    Admin → configuration → Revert to backup

    or

    Admin → configuration → Import from file

  • via REST

    curl -X PUT "http://<host>:8503/v1/config/revert?backup_id=<backup>"
    

About Configuration Backups

EOS keeps configuration backup files next to your active EOS.config.json.

You can list and restore backups:

  • via EOSdash UI
  • via REST API

List available backups

GET /v1/config/backups

Restore backup

PUT /v1/config/revert?backup_id=<id>

:::{admonition} Important :class: warning If no backup file is available, create or copy a previously saved EOS.config.json before reverting. :::
