Second question how can I backup postgres manually as it doesn’t expose any ports from docker installation?

Welcome to Meta :wave: There is a #bug topic about this error [image] Unable to backup or navigate to backups Bug Getting The backup has failed. Here’s the log: undefined method `start_with?' for nil /var/www/discourse/app/models/site_setting.rb:172:in `use_dualstack_endpoint’ /var/www/discourse/lib/s3_helper.rb:269:in `s3_options' /var/www/discourse/lib/backup_restore/s3_backup_store.rb:14:in `initialize’ /var/www/discourse/lib/backup_restore/backup_store.rb:17:in `new'` after a very recent rebuild to latest. In my case S3 is hosted with a vanilla AWS bucket. Could this be related?

[image] Al_Ni: how can I backup postgres manually as it doesn’t expose any ports from docker installation? The bug is just with S3, so to make a backup, you can change the backup location to local.
