domposbi
: Backup Docker Compose projects with easeDocker Compose projects can be easily backed up with domposbi
. The project is based on simbashlog
and domposy
.
Important: The backups do not work with Docker volumes, but only with Docker bind mounts, because the folders of the Docker Compose projects are backed up directly. This means that only the data in the project folders are backed up.
Examples for Docker Compose files:
Attention: The container needs access to the Docker socket. This is necessary to be able to back up the Docker Compose projects!
The easiest way is to download and run the install.sh
script.
It will guide you through the installation process and create the necessary files and directories so that you don’t have to worry about anything setting up manually.
First, go to the directory where you want to install the container.
The following command will download the installation script, make it executable, execute it and then delete it:
wget -q -O install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fuchs-fabian/domposbi/refs/heads/main/install.sh && \
chmod +x install.sh && \
./install.sh && \
rm install.sh
As the simbashlog-notifier does not work straight away, the container must be shut down and then the configuration file under volumes/config/
must be adapted.
If a notifier is used that requires additional files, these must be created on the host and mounted. Alternatively, the files can also be created in the container if the corresponding bind mounts have been set beforehand.
If the cronjob schedule or other settings are to be adjusted, the Docker container must be shut down briefly and the .env
file adjusted:
docker compose down
nano .env
The .env
file should look like this:
DOCKER_COMPOSE_PROJECTS_DIR='/path/to/your/docker-compose-projects'
BACKUP_DIR='/path/to/your/backup/directory'
CRON_SCHEDULE=*/10 * * * *
GIT_REPO_URL_FOR_SIMBASHLOG_NOTIFIER=''
# This should not be changed, if 'domposbi' is also in the Docker Compose projects directory!
KEYWORD_TO_EXCLUDE_FROM_BACKUP='domposbi'
KEEP_BACKUPS=10
# Optional
ENABLE_DEBUG_MODE=false
ENABLE_DRY_RUN=false
As the log files are mounted on the host by default, the files could become very large in the long term. The log files should therefore be deleted from time to time.
The log files are located under volumes/logs/
.
