Tips when working on the production server:

• Always perform a backup before you change something on the server!!! The scripts responsible for this can be found in the parent directory of the source code directory on the server.
  • mysql-backup.sh: Performs a full dump of all databases. Then it encrypts the dump, removes the unencrypted directory and uploads the encrypted backup to the VSETH cloud.
  • mysql-backup-tq_website.sh: Performs a backup of the tq_website database. The backup is neither encrypted nor uploaded to the cloud!
• Never ever use docker-compose down!!! This will "delete" the database! Use docker-compose stop and docker-compose start or docker-compose restart instead.
