Backup docker volumes

stop containers -> archive volumes -> start containers -> delete old archives

Archives directory is synced with Resilio.

Usage

docker run --rm \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    01e9/docker-backup \
    -c some_container \
    -d some_volume_name:some_dir_name \
    -c another_container \
    -d another_volume_name:another_dir_name \
    -d more_volume_name:more_dir_name/sub_dir

Optional environment variables

• BACKUP_TIME='03:00:00'

• TZ=Europe/Chisinau

  Makes BACKUP_TIME match host machine time.

  Command to get timezone (on Ubuntu) cat /etc/timezone.

• RESILIO_SECRET_RW='...'

  By default it will be generated automatically and printed in console.

  You can find it inside container in /etc/resilio.conf.

  Command to generate a read/write secret rslsync --generate-secret.

• SLACK_WEBHOOK='https://hooks.slack.com/services/...'

  It will send in Slack channel messages like “Backup started/finished/error”.
