Reinstall an Edge site using backup and restore

You can reinstall an Edge site by keeping the previous Edge site data.

Note This process is certified for restoring an Edge site to the Collibra environment on which the site was originally created, for example, restoring Development to Development or Production to Production. The process is not certified or tested for promoting an Edge site migration from one environment to another, for example, from Production to Development. These types of migrations require re-installation of the Edge application each time the migration is promoted.

  • Reinstall an Edge site on K3S
  • Reinstall an Edge site on EKS
  1. Back up your current Edge site (recommended): edge backup -o backup.yaml
    Warning If you have any existing connections, we highly recommend backing up your site and reinstalling the site from the backup. If you do not use a backup, you will need to manually re-enter passwords, encrypted text parameters, and any file parameters in each connection to restore full functionality.
  2. If you are reusing the same server as your current Edge site:
    1. Uninstall the current installation: uninstall-edge.sh
    2. Recreate the Linux disk mount for the directory /var/lib/rancher/k3s
  3. Re-download the installer for your Edge site and save it on your server.

    Note This is a new installer for your Edge site. The previous installer no longer works.

  4. Extract the installer and ensure that your custom setup, for example, proxy.properties and ca.pem, is available as in the previous setup.
  5. Re-install using the new installer, optionally with backup and/or classification: ./install-master.sh --storage-path <storagepath> -b backup.yaml --set collibra_edge.collibra.classification.enabled=true
