# restic-volume-backup
*WORK IN PROGRESS*
Backup using https://restic.net/ for a docker-compose setup.
Automatically detects and backs up volumes, mysql, mariadb and postgres databases in a docker-compose setup.
This includes both host mapped volumes and actual docker volumes.
* Each service in the compose setup is configured with a label
to enable backup of volumes or databases
* When backup starts a new instance of the container is created
mapping in all the needed volumes. It will copy networks etc
to ensure databases can be reached
* Volumes are mounter to `/backup/<service_name>/<path>`
in the backup process container. `/backup` is pushed into restic
* Databases are backed up from stdin / dumps
* Cron triggers backup
## Configuration
Required env variables for restic:
```bash
RESTIC_REPOSITORY
RESTIC_PASSWORD
```
Backend specific env vars : https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/040_backup.html#environment-variables
### Volumes
```yaml
version: '3'
services:
# The backup service
backup:
build: restic-volume-backup
environment:
- RESTIC_REPOSITORY=<whatever restic supports>
- RESTIC_PASSWORD=hopefullyasecturepw
env_file:
- some_other_vars.env
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
example:
image: some_image
# Enable volume backup with label
labels:
restic-volume-backup.enabled: true
# These volumes will be backed up
volumes:
# Docker volume
- media:/srv/media
# Host map
- /srv/files:/srv/files
volumes:
media:
```
A simple `include` and `exclude` filter is also available.
```yaml
example:
image: some_image
labels:
restic-volume-backup.enabled: true
restic-volume-backup.include: "files,data"
volumes:
# Source don't match include filter. No backup.
- media:/srv/media
# Matches include filter
- files:/srv/files
- /srv/data:/srv/data
volumes:
media:
files:
```
Exclude
```yaml
example:
image: some_image
labels:
restic-volume-backup.enabled: true
restic-volume-backup.exclude: "media"
volumes:
# Excluded by filter
- media:/srv/media
# Backed up
- files:/srv/files
- /srv/data:/srv/data
volumes:
media:
files:
```
### Databases
Will dump databases directly into restic through stdin.
They will appear in restic as a separate snapshot with
path `/backup/<service_name>/dump.sql` or similar.
```yaml
mariadb:
image: mariadb:10
labels:
restic-volume-backup.mariadb: true
```
```yaml
mysql:
image: mysql:5
labels:
restic-volume-backup.mysql: true
```
```yaml
postgres:
image: postgres
labels:
restic-volume-backup.postgres: true
```
