+#!/bin/bash
+
+# This script is used in Endurain's demo instance.
+
+# This script restores the Postgres database from a backup by replacing
+# the current postgres data folder with a backup copy. It also stops
+# and restarts the Docker containers (deleting current Docker images and
+# fetching new ones) to ensure a clean state. Logs are also cleared.
+
+# To schedule this script to run daily at midnight, add the following line
+# to your crontab (edit crontab with `crontab -e`):
+# 0 0 * * * /opt/containers/endurain/restore_postgres.sh >> /opt/containers/endurain/restore_logfile.log 2>&1
+
+# Exit on any error
+set -e
+
+rm -f /opt/containers/endurain/restore_logfile.log
