wholetale/backup repository overview

⁠Whole Tale Backup

Docker image definition for the Whole Tale backup container. This container is used to backup user data to remote cloud storage via rclone⁠. See the terraform_deployment⁠ repository for information about how this is deployed in the system.

⁠To run manually

To run the backup or restore process manually required first configuring rclone:

rclone --config rclone.conf config
...
n) New remote 
name> backup
Storage> 4 (box)
client_id> <empty>
client_secret> <empty>
Use auto config? Y

This will produce rclone.conf with a section backup and an initial token (valid for 60 days). The rclone.conf is used by the backup/restore processes.

Now, run the backup:

docker run --rm --network wt_mongo -v /mnt/home:/backup -v /home/core/rclone/:/conf  wholetale/backup backup.sh

This will create a directory WT/dev/YYYYMMDD/ containing an archive of home directory data and a dump of the mongodb.
