Yassine Guedidi c4b52d746c Update the remaining admin and user docs for env-first configuration
Refresh the asynchronous, backup, installation, permissions, and user-configuration pages so they describe the current environment-variable setup and remove stale references to parameters.yml as the active configuration path.

These edits are derivative of the new Parameters reference rather than part of that contract itself. Keeping them last lets reviewers check the broad cleanup once the authoritative documentation is already settled.

Backup 4

If you make a mistake with your wallabag and lose data, or you need to move your wallabag to another server, you'll want to backup your data. This article describes what you need to backup.

Basic settings

wallabag stores deploy-time settings through environment variables. Back up the place where you define them, for example .env.local, docker/php/env, or your web server / PHP-FPM configuration. If you upgraded an older installation and still keep app/config/parameters.yml, back up that file too until you finish migrating away from it.

Database

As wallabag supports different kinds of databases, the way to perform the backup depends on the database you use, so you need to refer to the vendor documentation.

Here's some examples:

SQLite

To backup the SQLite database, you just need to copy the directory data/db from the wallabag application directory.

Pictures

The pictures retrieved by wallabag are stored under web/assets/images.
