I set up a Discourse site, and a couple days later it suddenly stopped working - tries to load for a couple minutes then “This web page is not available - ERR\_CONNECTION\_RESET”. It might be a RAM issue.  
I am ready to use the launcher scripts to rebuild the container. But if possible I would like to backup the content that was added to the site so far.  
Is there a preferred way to backup the DB and/or uploaded files manually from the command line?  
I’ve been unable to track down the pgsql credentials in order to do a pgdump.
