An opinionated way to make backups. Basically,- a python script which launches executables in a predefined sequence and wraps some common backup management commands.
For Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 we provide packages. They can be installed via:
curl -1sLf \
'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/versada/cradle/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' \
| sudo bash
apt-get install versada-sbackupctl
The description below will be based on using the sample backup strategy. This includes:
- Making a postgres backup via
pg_dump - Backing up some directory via
borgbackup - And pinging cron service healthchecks.io
Copy sample files:
cp -R /usr/share/sbackupctl/* /opt/sbackupctl
Change default env variables at /opt/sbackupctl/env:
BORG_BACKUP_DIRS - colon delimited paths to backup
BORG_PASSPHRASE - passhprase to use to encrypt the repository
BORG_REPO - borg archive repository
HEALTHCHECK_TOKEN - token used to ping healthcheck service
PGDATABASE - database to backup via pg_dump
Periodic backups are enabled via
systemd.timers
for timer file at /lib/systemd/system/sbackupctl.timer:
systemctl enable sbackupctl.timer
systemctl start sbackupctl.timer
To do a backup there are 2 ways:
envdir /opt/sbackupctl/env sbackupctl backup
systemd start sbackupctl.service
To list all backups
envdir /opt/sbackupctl/env sbackupctl list
To get one of the backups
# $ARCHIVE_ID comes from sbackupctl list command
cd /tmp && envdir /opt/sbackupctl/env sbackupctl get $ARCHIVE_ID
