Hi Bryan,

OK, I see. I'll store the database in a HA RDS instance then. It's good to know 
though that it will be possible to recover at least the flows from the git repo 
if necessary.

Best regards,
Elemir

Subject: Re: Importing Git repo in NiFi Registry

Hello,

Just wanted to add that it is probably still good practice to back up the 
database, or use an external highly available DB.

As we build out the registry we will be storing more information in the 
database, and not all of it will come from git, so at some point the entire 
database may not be able to be rebuilt from just git. Although just for flows 
it should be fine.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Elemir,

I think you're looking for NIFIREG-209 [1] to be released in the next version 
of the NiFi Registry.

Hello,

In NiFi Registry configured with Git provider, is it possible to import the 
content of an existing Git repo in a new NiFi instance?

To provide some context, I am working on automating NiFi Registry server 
instantiation in AWS. I am planning to store the versioned flows in Git 
(CodeCommit) and I am considering the best way to backup and restore the state 
of NiFi Registry server to recover from failure.

NiFi Registry creates a data structure in the local database (H2) describing 
the available buckets and flows. I am wondering if the content of the Git 
repository is enough to preserve the state or if I need to backup the database 
too (or perhaps externalise it as a Postgres RDS instance). My tests so far 
indicate that it's the latter, but I want to confirm that this is correct.

Best regards,
Elemir
