# Admin CLI
The `hindsight-admin` CLI provides administrative commands for managing your Hindsight deployment, including database migrations, backup, and restore operations.
## Installation
The admin CLI is included with the `hindsight-api` package:
```bash
pip install hindsight-api
# or
uv add hindsight-api
```
## Commands
### run-db-migration
Run database migrations to the latest version. This is useful when you want to run migrations separately from API startup (e.g., in CI/CD pipelines or before deploying a new version).
```bash
hindsight-admin run-db-migration [OPTIONS]
```
**Options:**
| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `--schema`, `-s` | Database schema to run migrations on | `public` |
**Examples:**
```bash
# Run migrations on the default public schema
hindsight-admin run-db-migration
# Run migrations on a specific tenant schema
hindsight-admin run-db-migration --schema tenant_acme
```
:::tip Disabling Auto-Migrations
To disable automatic migrations on API startup, set `HINDSIGHT_API_RUN_MIGRATIONS_ON_STARTUP=false`. This is useful when you want to run migrations as a separate step in your deployment pipeline.

### backup
Create a backup of all Hindsight data to a zip file.
```bash
hindsight-admin backup OUTPUT [OPTIONS]
```
**Arguments:**
| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `OUTPUT` | Output file path (will add `.zip` extension if not present) |
**Options:**
| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `--schema`, `-s` | Database schema to backup | `public` |
**Examples:**
```bash
# Backup to a file
hindsight-admin backup /backups/hindsight-2024-01-15.zip
# Backup a specific tenant schema
hindsight-admin backup /backups/tenant-acme.zip --schema tenant_acme
```
The backup includes:
- Memory banks and their configuration
- Documents and chunks
- Entities and their relationships
- Memory units (facts, experiences, opinions, observations)
- Entity cooccurrences and memory links
:::note Consistency
Backups are created within a database transaction with `REPEATABLE READ` isolation, ensuring a consistent snapshot across all tables.
:::

### restore
Restore data from a backup file. **Warning: This deletes all existing data in the target schema.**
```bash
hindsight-admin restore INPUT [OPTIONS]
```
**Arguments:**
| Argument | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `INPUT` | Input backup file (.zip) |
**Options:**
| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `--schema`, `-s` | Database schema to restore to | `public` |
| `--yes`, `-y` | Skip confirmation prompt | `false` |
**Examples:**
```bash
# Restore with confirmation prompt
hindsight-admin restore /backups/hindsight-2024-01-15.zip
# Restore without confirmation (for scripts)
hindsight-admin restore /backups/hindsight-2024-01-15.zip --yes
# Restore to a specific tenant schema
hindsight-admin restore /backups/tenant-acme.zip --schema tenant_acme --yes
```
:::warning Data Loss
Restore will **delete all existing data** in the target schema before importing the backup. Always verify you have a recent backup before performing a restore.

## Environment Variables
The admin CLI uses the same environment variables as the API service. The most important one is:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string | `pg0` (embedded) |
**Example:**
```bash
# Use a specific database
export HINDSIGHT_API_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/hindsight
hindsight-admin backup /backups/mybackup.zip
```
