docker backup scripts

Description

A bunch of Bash scripts to make a backup of all your running containers dynamically.

This will create a backup of docker images, volumes, upload to dropbox and remove the backup files after to save space

Setup and Usage

This script use flags for configuration. The flags are:

• -m to set the mode (backup or restore)
• -b to set the backup path
• -t to set the tar options
• -u to upload to dropbox
• -f to force
• -s to run in non-interactive mode

Also, on dropbox you must create an App to store this backups, refer to https://www.dropbox.com/developers to get your Generated access token before running it and placed inside the config/dropbox-uploader.conf file

Give permissions to all sh files in the folder

cd docker-backup-scripts
chmod +x *.sh

Run the backup

./backup-manager.sh -p <output-path> -m backup

Run the restoration

./backup-manager.sh -p <backup-path> -m restore

Extra

Create a cron if you want to run it often (use the -s flag to run it in non-interactive mode)

crontab -e

0 0 * * * /path/to/backup-manager.sh -p <output-path> -m backup -s

For CoreOS, I supply a timer to allow run it daily with an installation script
