Jinya Backup is a push based backup system for shared hosting webspaces. It can backup directories and mysql databases.
The Jinya Backup Server is the server side component, installed on a server of your choice. This server must be able to run Docker images.
The installation is fairly simple, just get the Docker image from jinyacms/jinya-backup:latest. The version numbers
are simply the build numbers from Jenkins. If you don't want to use the latest tag check for the highest number in the
docker tags.
To configure Jinya Backup you need to set several environment variables. Please make sure, that you have set all of them.

The Jinya Backup Worker is the push part of Jinya Backup. It executes either mysqldump or archive jobs.
Installing the Worker is pretty easy, you only need to download the latest version from the Github releases.
Apart from the download you need to create a config file, check the Configuration section for the YAML structure.
