A small backup script for my Dokku installation
Checkout this repository with git clone --recursive to get all dependencies.
Use the setup.sh setup the following requirements.
All tokens are supposed to be stored in env.sh. Edit it to suit your needs.
# pushover
export PO_TOKEN="your applications token here"
export PO_USER="your user/group key here"
# Dropbox
export DB_CONFIG_PATH=~/.dropbox_uploader
You might also want to add dokku-backup.sh as a cron job. For example like this with crontab -e:
0 5 * * 1 /bin/bash /opt/dokku-backup/dokku-backup.sh >> /var/log/dokku-backup.log
Edit dokku-backup.sh to add your backup function calls, for example:
dokku_backup_database "mongo:export <database name>" "<app name>" "<service name>"
To restore the backups use the Dokku plugin's import command.
dokku mongo:import <app name> < <path to backup file>Note that some there is a difference between the plugin versions of how there are generated. The easiest way to restore the backups are to use the same version, otherwise you need to take care when restoring. For example older version of the Mongo plugin tars the output while newer use the built-in gzip flag in Mongo.
