This image is for backing up mysql or postgres dumps to local and/or remote borg repos. Other files&dirs may be included in the backup, and database dumps can be excluded altogether.
The container features backup, restore, list, delete and notif-test scripts that can
either be ran as one-off jobs or by cron - latter being the preferred method for backup.
For cron and/or remote borg usage, you also need to mount container configuration
at /config, containing crontab file (named crontab) and/or ssh key (named id_rsa).
Note ssh key, when provided, is expected to be passwordless.
Both remote & local repositories need to be initialised manually beforehand. You still may use this image to do so - just start a container in an interactive mode and use the shell.
In case some containers need to be stopped for the backup (eg to ensure there won't
be any mismatch between data and database), you can specify those container names to
the backup script (see below). Note that this requires mounting docker socket with
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock, but keep in mind it has security
implications - borg-mysql-backup will have essentially root permissions on the host.
To synchronize container tz with that of host's, then also add following mount:
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro. You'll likely want to do this for cron times
to match the host time.
It's possible to get notified of any errors that occur during backups. Currently supported notification methods are
- sending mail via SMTP
- sending pushover notifications
- posting to healthchecks.io
/failendpoint (see note on healtchchecks in following paragraphs)
If you wish to provide your own msmtprc config file instead of defining SMTP_* env
vars, create it at the /config mount, named msmtprc.
Dead man's switch support is provided via healthchecks; healthcheck provider will
always be pinged when backup job runs - regardless of the outcome; ie it's only
there to monitor the scheduled backup is being executed, not that it succeeds.
For error notifications you still need to configure notifications (see ERR_NOTIF).
Note if you've configured healthchecks.io as your healthcheck provider, then you
may also use it for error notifications (see above).
Additionally, following bindings are strongly recommended:
-v /host/borg-conf/.borg/cache:/root/.cache/borg
-v /host/borg-conf/.borg/config:/root/.config/borg
You might want to change where borg conf & cache are located via
BORG_CONFIG_DIR & BORG_CACHE_DIR env vars as described in docs
You might also wish to expose the logs:
-v /host/borg-conf/logs:/var/log
Every time any config is changed in /config, container needs to be restarted for
the changes to get picked up.
Running command from your computer: BORG_REMOTE_PATH=borg1 borg init --encryption=repokey [email protected]:dir/path
borg init --encryption=repokey /path/to/local/repo
Please make sure to verify you're able to access your offsite (ie remote) backups without your local repo/config! You don't want to find yourself unable to access remote backups in case local configuration/repository gets nuked. Refer to brog docs as to how and what to back up, depending on the encryption mode used.
You should be able to access your offsite backups from any system.
Remember - "Untested backup is no backup at all"
Note all BORG_-prefixed env vars are borg native ones.

Container incorporates backup, compact, restore, list, delete,

backup script is mostly intended to be ran by cron, but can also be executed
as a one-off command for a single backup.
usage: backup [-h] [-d MYSQL_DBS] [-g POSTGRES_DBS] [-c CONTAINERS] [-rl]
[-P PRUNE_OPTS] [-B|-Z CREATE_OPTS] [-E EXCLUDE_PATHS]
[-L LOCAL_REPO] [-e ERR_NOTIF] [-A SMTP_ACCOUNT] [-D MYSQL_FAIL_FATAL]
[-G POSTGRES_FAIL_FATAL] [-S SCRIPT_FAIL_FATAL] [-R REMOTE]
[-T REMOTE_REPO] [-C] [-H HC_ID] -p PREFIX [NODES_TO_BACK_UP...]
Create new archive
arguments:
-h show help and exit
-d MYSQL_DBS comma-separated mysql database names to back up; use value of
__all__ to back up all dbs on the server
-g POSTGRES_DBS comma-separated postgresql database names to back up; use value of
__all__ to back up all dbs on the server
-c CONTAINERS comma-separated container names to stop for the backup process;
requires mounting the docker socket (-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock);
note containers will be stopped in given order; after backup
completion, containers are started in reverse order; only containers
that were stopped by the script will be re-started afterwards
-r only back to remote borg repo (remote-only)
-l only back to local borg repo (local-only)
-P PRUNE_OPTS overrides container env var of same name; only required when
container var is not defined or needs to be overridden;
-1 LOCAL_PRUNE_OPTS prune options for local borg repo; overrides PRUNE_OPTS (& -P);
-2 REMOTE_PRUNE_OPTS prune options for remote borg repo; overrides PRUNE_OPTS (& -P);
-B CREATE_OPTS additional borg params; note it doesn't overwrite the
env var of same name, but extends it;
-Z CREATE_OPTS additional borg params; note it _overrides_ the env
var of same name;
-E EXCLUDE_PATHS comma-separated paths to exclude from backup;
[-E '/p1,/p2'] would be equivalent to [-B '-e /p1 -e /p2']

placeholder in HC_URL; may also provide new full url to call
instead, overriding the env var HC_URL
-p PREFIX borg archive name prefix. note that the full archive name already
contains HOST_ID env var and timestamp, so omit those.
NODES_TO_BACK_UP... last arguments to backup.sh are files&directories to be

Note we didn't need to define mysql- or remote borg repo related docker env vars.
Also there's no need to have ssh key in /config, as we're not connecting to a remote server.
Additionally, there was no need to mount /etc/localtime, as cron doesn't
define absolute time, but simply an interval.
Note also how we define the healthcheck url HC_URL template, whose {id} placeholder
is replaced by -H value provided by backup.sh
Use same docker command as above, with following env vars added:
-e ERR_NOTIF=mail \
-e [email protected] \
-e NOTIF_SUBJECT='{i} backup error' \
-e SMTP_HOST='smtp.gmail.com' \
-e SMTP_USER='your.google.username' \

layr/borg-mysql-backup backup.sh -r -p emby /emby
Note there's no need to have a crontab file in /config, as we're executing this
command just once, after which container exits and is removed (ie we're not using
scheduled backups). Also note there's no /backup mount for local borg repo as
we're operating only against the remote borg repo.
Note also the healtcheck url that will get pinged.
restore script should be executed directly with docker in interactive mode. All data
will be extracted into /$RESTORE_DIR/restored-{archive_name}.
Note none of the data is copied/moved automatically - user is expected to carry this operation out on their own. Only db will be restored from a dump, given the option is provided to the script.
usage: restore [-h] [-d] [-g] [-c CONTAINERS] [-rl] [-B BORG_OPTS] [-L LOCAL_REPO]
[-R REMOTE] [-T REMOTE_REPO] -O RESTORE_DIR -a ARCHIVE_NAME
Restore data from borg archive
arguments:
-h show help and exit
-d automatically restore mysql database from dumped file; if this
option is provided and archive doesn't contain exactly one dump-file,
it's an error; be careful, this is a destructive operation!
-g automatically restore postgresql database from dumped file; if this
option is provided and archive contains no sql dumps, it's an error;
be careful, this is a destructive operation!
-c CONTAINERS comma-separated container names to stop before the restore begins;
note they won't be started afterwards, as there might be need
to restore other data (only sql dumps are restored automatically);
requires mounting the docker socket (-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock)
-r restore from remote borg repo
-l restore from local borg repo
-B BORG_OPTS additional borg params to pass to extract command
-L LOCAL_REPO overrides container env var of same name

Note there's no need to mount /config, as we're not using cron nor connecting to remote borg.
Also we're not providing mysql env vars, as script isn't invoked with -d option, meaning
db won't be automatically restored with the included .sql dumpfile (if there was one).

Data will be restored from a local borg repo /backup/otherrepo that overrides the
env-var-configured value /backup/repo. Also note missing
env variable BORG_PASSPHRASE, which will be required to be typed in manually.
Note the CREATE_OPTS, LOCAL_CREATE_OPTS, REMOTE_CREATE_OPTS env
