Recover aiida profile

[Fabiana Machado]

Dear all, 

I just changed computers and now I want to recover my profile. I am doing that by copying the container folder from the remote machine that contains the same profile. When doing verdi status, it finds my profile but it raises an error saying that "The container is not initialized yet - use .init_container() first". However, I don''t want to do that, since I want to recover my already existing profile. Any ideas of how to fix that ? 

Thanks!

Best, 

Fabiana

Hi Fabiana,

This error means that AiiDA cannot find the file repository at the path that is specified by the profile.
Run `verdi profile show` which should show the location that AiiDA expects.
It should look something like (for v2.0 at least)

storage:
  backend: core.psql_dos
  config:
    database_engine: postgresql_psycopg2
    database_hostname: localhost
    database_name: aiida_dev_main
    database_password: aiida
    database_port: 5432
    database_username: aiida
    repository_uri: file:///home/sph/.virtualenvs/aiida_dev/.aiida/repository/main

You should make sure that the path of `repository_uri` exists and contains the file repository of your original profile.
If you changed computers, you should make sure to copy that folder from the original machine to the new one.

You didn't specify what you did, but you should also make sure that the database has been copied to the new machine.
This is the second location where AiiDA stores data.

Hope that helps,

Sebastiaan

Hi Sebastiaan, 

I realized I was missing one "/" here:  repository_uri: file:///home . All working now! Thank you!

All the best, 

Fabiana
