Hello – am wondering if anyone has experiencing with preservation/archiving a DHIS2 instance once a project has ended?
When our project ends, hosting cost support will no longer be available but we would like to ensure that the data contained in our DHIS2 instance remains somehow useable/accessible to others. Does anyone have experience with the best approach to doing this?
Many thanks in advance,
Karen Levin
I think creating a backup of your database, the dhis2.conf file and your war file should be enough to ensure your able to restore it later. If you want more maybe you could consider taking a snapshot of your VM.
Hope its helps,
Romain

I think Romain is correct. But if you also have apps, you may want to preserve a copy of those also.

and you can also have "files".
Maybe the best approach is to cleanup the webapps directory (leaving
only war file) then zip up all of DHIS2_HOME together with database
backup.
You need to think about whether you want to also keep old log files.
dhis2, but also possibly proxy and postgres. It depends how important
auditability is to you. Of course in an ideal scenario these will all
have been shipped offsite anyway
