Django app/postgres don't respond after running Snapshot!?

Hi!

So it sounds like you are using the Dokku postgres plugin. If that’s the case, then to dump a database, you’ll need to do it with Dokku as it is running inside a container.

dokku postgresql:dump dbname > foo.sql

and to restore one:

dokku postgresql:restore dbname < foo.sql

As to the question of will dokku postgresql:create original_db_name will destroy the old one, looking at the code:

    if [[ -f "$DOKKU_ROOT/.postgresql/volume_$APP" ]]; then
        VOLUME="`cat $DOKKU_ROOT/.postgresql/volume_$APP`:/opt/postgresql"
        echo
        echo "-----> Reusing postgresql/$APP database"
    else
        VOLUME="/opt/postgresql"
        # Generate a random password for DB user
        DB_PASSWORD=$(< /dev/urandom tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 16)
        echo $DB_PASSWORD > "$DOKKU_ROOT/.postgresql/pwd_$APP"
        chown dokku: "$DOKKU_ROOT/.postgresql/pwd_$APP"
        chmod 700 "$DOKKU_ROOT/.postgresql/pwd_$APP"
    fi

it looks like it will attempt to reuse the persistent volume.
