Jenkins-backup

This simple go code will create a backup of your Jenkins server placed inside Kubernetes. You need to put path to the kubeconfig via kubeConfigPath command line flag.

Build package

make build

Run locally

export JENKINS_NAMESPACE=namespace-name
export S3_REGION=aws-region
export S3_BUCKET_NAME=bucket-name
./out/bin/jenkins-backup -kubeConfigPath=/path/kubeconfig

Aws credentials - you can either use environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY) or create $HOME/.aws/credentials file.

Under the hood

• Create k8s client using kubeconfig file
• Create tar.gz archive of jenkins home directory inside remote jenkins pod
• Copy tar archive to localhost and upload to S3 bucket
• Delete created archive from jenkins pod
