Kubevirt Velero Plugin

Velero is the preferred solution for OpenShift for backup, disaster recovery and migration. Out-of-the-box it allows backing up VMs and DVs in a couple limited scenarios and requires jumping through several hoops.

The plugin will ensure full support as well as automation of the abovementioned hoop-jumping. ;-)

This is still a work in progress, not intended for production use.

Building the plugins

To build the plugin's builder, run

$ make build-builder

To build the plugin, run

$ make build-all

To build the image, run

$ make build-image

This builds an image tagged as registry:5000/kubevirt-velero-plugin:0.1. If you want to specify a different name or version/tag, run:

$ IMAGE=your-repo/your-name VERSION=your-version-tag make build-image

Deploying the plugin to local cluster

Development version of the plugin is intended to work in local cluster build with KubeVirt's or CDI's make cluster-up. To deploy the plugin:

1. make cluster-push-image to build and push image to local cluster
2. make local-deploy-velero to deploy Velero to local cluster
3. make add-plugin to add the plugin to Velero.
