There are also tags with Docker-CLI installed. Useful for container stop/start scripts. ### Dockerhub [modem7/borgmatic-docker](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/modem7/borgmatic-docker) ### Github [modem7/borgmatic-docker](https://github.com/modem7/docker-borgmatic) ### Readme A little container based on [b3vis's](https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/docker-borgmatic) work to automate my [Borgbackups](https://github.com/borgbackup) using the excellent [Borgmatic](https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic). It uses cron to run the backups at a time you can configure in `data/borgmatic.d/crontab.txt`. # Tags | Tag | Description | | :----: | --- | | Latest | Latest version of Borgmatic| | 1.8.xx-1.2.x | Specific versions of Borgmatic | # Environment Variables | Variable | Description | Possible Values | Default | | :----: | --- | --- | --- | | DOCKERCLI | Install DockerCLI and ComposeCLI | true | Empty | | EXTRA_PKGS | Install additional packages | rclone coreutils jq other_packages | Empty | | CRON | Cron times | cron time, false | 0 1 * * * | | CRON_COMMAND | Command cron will run | borgmatic --stats -v 0 2>&1 | borgmatic --stats -v 0 2>&1 | | EXTRA_CRON | Extra cron lines | 0 5 2 * * command1 | Empty | ## Customising the container Simply mount a volume located at /custom-cont-init.d and add any scripts you want. These scripts can contain logic for installing packages, copying over custom files to other locations, or installing plugins. For example: ```yaml services: borgmatic: volumes: - /home/foo/my-custom-files:/custom-cont-init.d:ro ``` ### Usage Please look at this [guide](https://www.modem7.com/books/docker-backup/page/backup-docker-using-borgmatic) to help you run this container. To set your backup timing and configuration, you will need to create [crontab.txt](https://github.com/modem7/docker-borgmatic/blob/master/base-fullbuild/data/borgmatic.d/crontab.txt) and your borgmatic [config.yaml](https://github.com/modem7/docker-borgmatic/blob/master/base-fullbuild/data/borgmatic.d/config.yaml) and mount these files into the `/etc/borgmatic.d/` directory. When the container starts it creates the crontab from `crontab.txt` and starts crond. By cloning this repo in `/opt/docker/`, you will have a working setup to get started. If using remote repositories mount your .ssh to /root/.ssh within the container. #### Starting and stopping containers from hooks In case you are using the container to backup docker volumes used by other containers, you might want to make sure that the data is consistent and doesn't change while the backup is running. The easiest way to ensure this is to stop the affected containers before the backup and restart them afterwards. You can use the appropriate [borgmatic hooks](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/add-preparation-and-cleanup-steps-to-backups/) and [control the docker engine through the API](https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/) using the hosts docker socket. Please note that you might want to prefer the `*_everything` hooks to the `*_backup` hooks, as `after_backup` will not run if the backup fails for any reason (missing disk space, etc.) and therefore the containers stay stopped. First mount the docker socket from the host by adding `-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock` to your `run` command or in the volume list of your `docker-compose.yml`. Then use the following example to create the start/stop hooks in the `config.yml` for the containers that you want to control. ```yaml hooks: before_everything: - echo "Stopping containers..." - 'echo -ne "POST /v1.41/containers//stop HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n" | nc local:/var/run/docker.sock 80 > /dev/null && echo "Stopped Container 1" || echo "Failed to stop Container 1"' - 'echo -ne "POST /v1.41/containers//stop HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n" | nc local:/var/run/docker.sock 80 > /dev/null && echo "Stopped Container 2" || echo "Failed to stop Container 2"' - echo "Containers stopped." - echo "Starting a backup." after_everything: - echo "Finished a backup." - echo "Restarting containers..." - 'echo -ne "POST /v1.41/containers//start HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n" | nc local:/var/run/docker.sock 80 > /dev/null && echo "Started Container 1" || echo "Failed to start Container 1"' - 'echo -ne "POST /v1.41/containers//start HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\n\r\n" | nc local:/var/run/docker.sock 80 > /dev/null && echo "Started Container 2" || echo "Failed to start Container 2"' - echo "Containers restarted." ``` ### Example run command ```console docker run \ --detach --name borgmatic \ -v /home:/mnt/source:ro \ -v /opt/docker/docker-borgmatic/data/repository:/mnt/borg-repository \ -v /opt/docker/docker-borgmatic/data/borgmatic.d:/etc/borgmatic.d/ \ -v /opt/docker/docker-borgmatic/data/.config/borg:/root/.config/borg \ -v /opt/docker/docker-borgmatic/data/.ssh:/root/.ssh \ -v /opt/docker/docker-borgmatic/data/.cache/borg:/root/.cache/borg \ -e TZ=Europe/London \ modem7/borgmatic-docker ``` While the parameters above are sufficient for regular backups, following additional privileges will be needed to mount an archive as FUSE filesystem: ```console --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \ --device /dev/fuse \ --security-opt label:disable \ --security-opt apparmor:unconfined ``` Depending on your security system, `--security-opt` parameters may not be necessary. `label:disable` is needed for *SELinux*, while `apparmor:unconfined` is needed for *AppArmor*. To init the repo with encryption, run: ```console docker exec borgmatic \ sh -c "borgmatic --init --encryption repokey-blake2" ``` ### Layout #### /mnt/source Your data you wish to backup. For *some* safety you may want to mount read-only. Borgmatic is running as root so all files can be backed up. #### /mnt/borg-repository Mount your borg backup repository here. #### /etc/borgmatic.d Where you need to create crontab.txt and your borgmatic config.yml - To generate an example borgmatic configuration, run: ```console docker exec borgmatic \ sh -c "cd && borgmatic config generate -d /etc/borgmatic.d/config.yaml" ``` - crontab.txt example: In this file set the time you wish for your backups to take place default is 1am every day. In here you can add any other tasks you want ran ``` 0 1 * * * PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/bin/borgmatic --stats -v 0 2>&1 ``` #### /root/.config/borg Here the borg config and keys for keyfile encryption modes are stored. Make sure to backup your keyfiles! Also needed when encryption is set to none. #### /root/.ssh Mount either your own .ssh here or create a new one with ssh keys in for your remote repo locations. #### /root/.cache/borg A non-volatile place to store the borg chunk cache. ### Environment - Time zone, e.g. `TZ="Europe/Berlin"'`. - SSH parameters, e.g. `BORG_RSH="ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_ed25519 -p 50221"` - BORG_RSH="ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_ed25519 -p 50221" - Repository passphrase, e.g. `BORG_PASSPHRASE="DonNotMissToChangeYourPassphrase"` ### Docker Compose - Prepare your configuration 1. `cp .env.template .env` 2. Set your environment and adapt volumes as needed - To start the container for backup: `docker-compose up -d` - For backup restore: 1. Stop the backup container: `docker-compose down` 2. Run an interactive shell: `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.restore.yml run borgmatic` 3. Fuse-mount the backup: `borg mount /mnt/borg-repository ` 4. Restore your files 5. Finally unmount and exit: `borg umount && exit`. - In case Borg fails to create/acquire a lock: `borg break-lock /mnt/repository`
