Container & Core Restore from Backup

Restore from Backup

Since the 2022.4 release, Home Assistant Core and Container installation types has had the ability to create backups.
But there's no easy way to restore your configuration from those backups. So, I created a script
(only works with installs created from https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ ) that makes it simple.

Simply run in the LXC console and follow instructions.

For Home Assistant Core

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/core-restore-from-backup.sh)"

For Home Assistant Container

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/container-restore-from-backup.sh)"

I've used the Core version for some time now (also tested Container).
*It will install rsync if not detected.

TIP: Download your backups for safe keeping. You can use File Browser to upload them to the backup folder if needed.

Nice addition.
As a suggestion for the Home Assistant Core LXC install script, you could add the installation of MySQLClient (maybe as optional). I don't use SQLlite and MySQLClient is not installed by default.
Thanks and regards!

I use the PostgreSQL LXC

I've used the Mariadb LXC for the server, but I had to install the MySQLClient manually in the Home Assistant Core LXC, for HA to be able to connect to the MariaDB server.

Really, I haven't heard that before. What did you have to do pip install mysqlclient?
So just changing the

recorder:
  db_url: 

in the configuration.yaml didn't work? That's all I do.

Before that I had to install some needed dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev build-essential
(it was giving me some errors before) then yes pip3 install mysqlclient and the config in HA.
It's not much to do manually, but it'd be nice to have it in the script if it's not much trouble.

I had to do the same and install the mysqlclient libs. #804 (reply in thread)
