Clone overpass docker container with data to another VM issue about overpass-api HOT 1 OPEN

Hi,

Sockets are objects that are used by runtime so it is not necessary to copy them. What you can do:

• once the new instance finishes initialization, shut it down, and just use this folder by your current instance
• copy the files while instance is shutdown (sockets should not be there)
• ignore the error about sockets

The other thing here is, that this is very expensive way to handle updates. You can set up to download Geofabrik daily updates and you can apply them without shutting down prod instance.

If you need to control, when updated database is released, you can clone the files you have and update the files in separate process / container. As long as you don't have updates running, the database is only read, so no issues with inconsistency. Then once this dataset is ready, you can deploy that on prod as described above.
