Description

Currently PostgreSQL is backed up daily to GCS via poliloom-backup.timer, but Meilisearch is only backed up manually via Makefile targets (index-dump, index-snapshot) to local dumps/ directory.

Task

Add Meilisearch dump to the automated backup pipeline so it's also uploaded to GCS.

Options

  1. Extend poliloom-backup.service to also dump Meilisearch
  2. Create separate poliloom-backup-index.service/timer

Reference

  • Existing backup: systemd-timers/poliloom-backup.service
  • Meilisearch dump logic: Makefile (index-dump target)

Research direction

Read systemd-timers/poliloom-backup.service and the Makefile's index-dump target to compare the existing PostgreSQL backup flow with the Meilisearch dump logic. Check the related timer configuration and verify the resulting dump is uploaded to GCS by the automated backup, with the chosen service or timer completing successfully.
