# BackupSidecar
|
|
|
|
BackupSidecar is a lightweight backup solution designed to run as a cron job in Kubernetes. It automates backups using Restic and supports both directory and PostgreSQL database backups. Notifications are sent via Gotify to keep you informed of backup results.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
BackupSidecar is configured through environment variables. Below is a breakdown of the available settings.
|
|
|
|
### General Settings
|
|
|
|
These variables apply to both directory and PostgreSQL backups.
|
|
|
|
- **`BACKUP_MODE`** _(optional)_ - Defines the backup type (`directory` or `postgres`). Defaults to `directory`.
|
|
- **`RESTIC_PASSWORD`** _(required)_ - The encryption password for Restic.
|
|
- **`RESTIC_REPOSITORY`** _(required)_ - The URI of the Restic repository (e.g., `rest:http://your-rest-server:8000/backup`).
|
|
- **`RESTIC_REST_USERNAME`** _(optional)_ - The username for REST server authentication.
|
|
- **`RESTIC_REST_PASSWORD`** _(optional)_ - The password for REST server authentication.
|
|
- **`GOTIFYHOST`** _(required)_ - The Gotify server URL.
|
|
- **`GOTIFYTOKEN`** _(required)_ - The API token for Gotify.
|
|
- **`GOTIFYTOPIC`** _(required)_ - The topic under which backup notifications will be sent.
|
|
|
|
### Directory Backup
|
|
|
|
When running in `directory` mode, the following variable must be set:
|
|
|
|
- **`SOURCEDIR`** _(required)_ - The path of the directory to be backed up.
|
|
|
|
### PostgreSQL Backup
|
|
|
|
For `postgres` mode, the following database-related variables are required:
|
|
|
|
- **`PGHOST`** _(required)_ - The hostname of the PostgreSQL server.
|
|
- **`PGDATABASE`** _(required)_ - The name of the database to back up.
|
|
- **`PGUSER`** _(required)_ - The PostgreSQL username.
|
|
- **`PGPORT`** _(optional)_ - The port for PostgreSQL (defaults to `5432`).
|
|
- **`PGPASSWORD`** _(optional)_ - The password for authentication. Setting this prevents interactive prompts.
|
|
- **`PG_DUMP_ARGS`** _(optional)_ - Additional flags for `pg_dump`.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Ensure the following commands are available in the container:
|
|
|
|
- `restic`
|
|
- `curl`
|
|
- `jq`
|
|
- `pg_dump` _(only required for `postgres` mode)_
|
|
|
|

|
|
- name: GOTIFYTOPIC
|
|
value: "Backup Notification"
|
|
# (For PostgreSQL mode, add PGHOST, PGDATABASE, PGUSER, PGPORT, PGPASSWORD)
|
|
volumeMounts:
|
|
- name: source-data
|
|
mountPath: /data/source
|
|

## Notifications
|
|
|
|
The script sends success or failure notifications via Gotify.
|
|
|
|
Example success notification:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Backup successful. Snapshot 56ff6a909a44e01f67d2d88f9a76aa713d437809d7ed14a2361e28893f38befb: files new: 1, files changed: 0, data added: 1019 bytes in 0.277535184 sec
