External volume issue after Restore with backup/restore scripts

Hi, I used the suggested backup/restore script (from Meldiron: https://gist.github.com/Meldiron/47b5851663668102a676aff43c6341f7) in which the restore process needs to have a clean server that either didn't run the appwrite yet or have it removed with docker-compose -v to delete the volumes. The issue is that the restoration process creates the volumes back but they are not tied to any docker-compose configuration. Then when I docker-compose up, it (kindly) complains about volumes already existing and suggest to add en external option in the docker-compose.yml. Any suggestion to prevent this? Thx.

Try to add external: true to all the volumes

volumes:
  appwrite-mariadb:
    external: true
  appwrite-redis:
    external: true
  appwrite-cache:
    external: true
  appwrite-uploads:
    external: true
  appwrite-certificates:
    external: true
  appwrite-functions:
    external: true
  appwrite-builds:
    external: true
  appwrite-influxdb:
    external: true
  appwrite-config:
    external: true
  appwrite-executor:
    external: true

Then rerun

Sure, that is what docker compose suggest, but that is not what I would like to do... my volumes are NOT external, they are tied to my docker stack...

Of course
External just means that you have set them before the docker-compose file
Not external filesystem

hey @Meldiron can you take a look at this from your script?

You actually correct that's sound wired
What is the output of

  docker volume ls

In fact it's kind of normal as the volumes are created by the restore script, but the script requires this :

Doing so I'm ending with a clean server on which the script is restoring, creating new volumes but losing the compose link. It's finally working well, but a docker volume inspect clearly shows that it's missing the "link". Here is from a docker-compose install :

and after a restore (note the missing "Labels" that maintain the docker-compose source) :

BTW, the above samples come from 2 different platforms but I got the same before/after changes on the same server.
