restic with SeaweedFS

Installation

See https://restic.github.io

On mac: brew install restic

Weed Configuration

Set the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables in both your weed environment as well as your restic environment.

The key values do not matter but they must be provided, as restic expects (and effectively requires) non-anonymous access when communicating with an S3 bucket.

This may involve configuring your weed server similar to the following:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="any-key-id"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="any-access-key"

export WEED_S3_CONFIGURE_CMD="s3.configure \
  -access_key \"$AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID\" \
  -secret_key \"$AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY\" \
  -user iam \
  -actions Admin \
  -apply"
echo "$WEED_S3_CONFIGURE_CMD" | weed shell

Execute Restic Commands

See: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/s3cmd-with-SeaweedFS

First, create the bucket:

s3cmd mb s3://resticbucket

Then, initialize the restic bucket and backup to it:

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="any-key-id"
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="any-access-key"

$ restic -r s3:http://localhost:8333/resticbucket init

$ restic -r s3:http://localhost:8333/resticbucket backup /Users/chris/dev/gopath/bin/
