# Postgres backup/restore hook for the discourse `db` service. Invoked by backupbot-two via:
# backupbot.backup.pre-hook = "/pg_backup.sh backup"
# backupbot.backup.volumes.postgresql_data.path = "backup.sql"
# backupbot.restore.post-hook = "/pg_backup.sh restore"
# Backup dumps the DB to backup.sql (gzip) inside the postgresql_data volume; backupbot archives it.
# Restore reimports it. Discourse (the rails app + sidekiq) keeps many TCP connections open to the DB
# and reconnects within milliseconds, so a one-shot pg_terminate_backend is NOT enough: restore must
# first block all non-local connections at the pg_hba level (so the app cannot reconnect and interfere
# mid-reimport), then FORCE-drop, recreate, and deterministically reimport the dump, then restore
# pg_hba. (Mirrors the proven matrix-synapse restore hook.) The previous recipe shipped a pg_dump
# backup but NO restore hook — a file-level restore did not reload into the running postgres, so a
# restored backup silently kept the live (un-restored) state. cc-ci caught this: a seeded ci_marker row
# was gone after restore. Same pattern as the immich / mattermost-lts / ghost recipe-PRs.
