Restore

When you have a dump of your already installed Prestashop instance:

1. Create a .env file (use .env.dist as starter file, cp .env.dist .env) and setup required values:
   • DB_PREFIX (database_prefix),
   • MYSQL_DATABASE (database_name),
   • MYSQL_PASSWORD (database_password),
   • MYSQL_USER (database_user). They should have the same values as in app/config/parameters.php.
2. Move your database dump file(s) (.sh, .sql, .sql.gz, .sql.xz, .sql.zst) into initdb.d/ directory.
3. Move your files into prestashop/ directory (replace existing directory with your files).
4. Run docker compose up [-d].
5. Wait for download and build images.
6. Wait when database service will load dump file(s) into the database. Note! When you goto the shop before database is loaded you will got an error. Please be patient and wait for database.
7. Goto http://localhost/ domain and play with your "new" shop.
