Please report issus on [github](https://github.com/ZettaIO/restic-compose-backup/issues).
## Install
```bash
docker pull zettaio/restic-compose-backup
```
## Configuration (env vars)
Minimum configuration
```bash
RESTIC_REPOSITORY
RESTIC_PASSWORD
```
More config options can be found in the [documentation].
Restic backend specific env vars : https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/040_backup.html#environment-variables
## Compose Example
We simply control what should be backed up by adding
labels to our containers. More details are covered
in the [documentation].
restic-backup.env
```bash
RESTIC_REPOSITORY=<whatever backend restic supports>
RESTIC_PASSWORD=hopefullyasecturepw
# snapshot prune rules
RESTIC_KEEP_DAILY=7
RESTIC_KEEP_WEEKLY=4
RESTIC_KEEP_MONTHLY=12
RESTIC_KEEP_YEARLY=3
# Cron schedule. Run every day at 1am
CRON_SCHEDULE="0 1 * * *"
```
docker-compose.yaml
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
# The backup service
backup:
image: zettaio/restic-compose-backup:<version>
env_file:
- restic-backup.env
volumes:
# We need to communicate with docker
- /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
# Persistent storage of restic cache (greatly speeds up all restic operations)
- cache:/cache
web:
image: some_image
labels:
# Enables backup of the volumes below
restic-compose-backup.volumes: true
volumes:
- media:/srv/media
- /srv/files:/srv/files
mariadb:
image: mariadb:10
labels:
# Enables backup of this database
restic-compose-backup.mariadb: true
env_file:
mariadb-credentials.env
volumes:
- mysqldata:/var/lib/mysql
mysql:
image: mysql:5
labels:
# Enables backup of this database
restic-compose-backup.mysql: true
env_file:
mysql-credentials.env
volumes:
- mysqldata:/var/lib/mysql
postgres:
image: postgres
labels:
# Enables backup of this database
restic-compose-backup.postgres: true
env_file:
postgres-credentials.env
volumes:
- pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
media:
mysqldata:
mariadbdata:
pgdata:
cache:
```
## The `rcb` command
Everything is controlled using the `rcb` command.
After configuring backup with labels and restarted
the affected services we can quickly view the
result using the `status` subcommand.
```bash
$ docker-compose run --rm backup rcb status
INFO: Status for compose project 'myproject'
INFO: Repository: '<restic repository>'
INFO: Backup currently running?: False
INFO: --------------- Detected Config ---------------
INFO: service: mysql
INFO: - mysql (is_ready=True)
INFO: service: mariadb
INFO: - mariadb (is_ready=True)
INFO: service: postgres
INFO: - postgres (is_ready=True)
INFO: service: web
INFO: - volume: media
INFO: - volume: /srv/files
```
The `status` subcommand lists what will be backed up and
even pings the database services checking their availability.
The `restic` command can also be used directly in the container.
More `rcb` commands can be found in the [documentation].
## Running Tests
```bash
pip install -e ./src/
pip install -r src/tests/requirements.txt
tox
```
## Building Docs
```bash
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
python src/setup.py build_sphinx
```
# Local dev setup
The git repository contains a simple local setup for development
```bash
# Create an overlay network to link the compose project and stack
docker network create --driver overlay --attachable global
# Start the compose project
docker-compose up -d
# Deploy the stack
docker stack deploy -c swarm-stack.yml test
```
In dev we should ideally start the backup container manually
```bash
docker-compose run --rm backup sh
# pip install the package in the container in editable mode to auto sync changes from host source
pip install -e .
```
