-----------------------------------
Summary: Support rebuilding metadata DB from Git repo
Key: NIFIREG-209
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-209
Project: NiFi Registry
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Bryan Bende
Assignee: Bryan Bende
Since the release of git persistence for flow storage, many users have asked if
there is a way to stand up a new NiFi Registry instance and just point it at an
existing git repo of flows.
Currently the issue is that the git repo is only used for the persistence of
flow content, and the metadata comes from a relational database, so if you lost
your server and don't have a copy of the DB then the git repo alone isn't
enough.
In general the DB should be backed up, or an external DB with HA (Postgres)
should be used instead of the H2 DB, but we should also be able to offer a way
to bootstrap a new NiFi Registry instance from a git repo of flows.
