To install lxdBackup you only have to clone the repo.
git clone https://codeberg.org/beli3ver/lxdBackup
To run the program just add the path to your enviroment Path variable or just do:
bash lxdBackup.sh
Attention: without parameter the program will do nothing
To run the backup program you must start it with one of these parameters:
-a | --all backup all container
-cj | --cron backup script im cron modus, look in the docu for more information
-c= | --container= backup container
-d= | --dir= path to the backup dir
-doi | --delete-old-images delete old images
-doa | --delete-old-archives delete old archives
-s= | --sshport= SSH Port
-rs= | --rsyncpath= Path for rsync target
-h | --help show this help message
-p= | --pass= password for gpg encryption
-v | --version print version & third party version
The easiest would be to do:
/usr/bin/bash lxdBackup.sh --all
To run the software in the cron modus start it with this parameter:
/usr/bin/bash lxdBackup.sh --cron
It is important that on of these two paramter is set:
export ALL_CONTAINER=y
or
export LXCCONTAINER=name-of-the-container
optional you can change the backup dir
export BACKUPDIR=/backup/
For GPG support look at the GPG section.
To get a log when you run the program in the cron mode just do something like this in your crontab:
#that will run every 4 hours
0 */4 * * * /usr/bin/bash /path/to/lxdBackup/lxdbackup.sh --cron > /path/to/log
To use the GPG encryption you must set the a GPG passphrase as a enviroment variable or at the begining of the script call:
/usr/bin/bash lxdBackup.sh --pass=myStrongPassword --all
Attention: It is important that the --pass=
is the first parameter when you call the script!
The enviroment variable looks like this:
export GPGPASS=myStrongPassword
/usr/bin/bash lxdBackup.sh --all
