Linux - Change Database Location or Install Location

JRTCo

Can anyone tell me how to change the location of the database or if I can install to a different drive? Moving the database would be preferred. After the third time filling up my root drive and having to delete the backup database, this is getting annoying.

Here are the instructions for Windows (I'll have to verify if Linux has the repository option in a similar place if you cannot find it).

Yeah I looked on the site and in the install instructions. I could only find references to a windows installation. I need the debian linux method though.

Hello,

There is a linux method available that you can try:

stop the services
move the actual database from /path/1/cbbackup.db to /path/2/cbbackup.db (same for *.db-wal and *.db-shm)
create symlinks from /path/1/* to /path/2/*
start services

Hope it helps, let us know if you require further assistance.

, to add to the comment above - you might also want to adjust the settings for the logs.
Execute the command [ ./cbb options -set logging ] for details

Hey All, finally tried this. I moved the entire config folder and symlinked that. But now the app wont start. The WebAccess log reports that Web access is disabled. Any ideas?

Please make sure web access is enabled as detailed in this blog post. Let us know if that addresses the issue. https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/taking-advantage-of-web-access-for-macos-linux/

Thanks, I had already tried that but must have fudged something. I copy pasted and it works now. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
