Restic

This docker-compose.yml file runs Restic backup as per crontab.txt with parameters set in .env using the restic/restic image.

Setup

Setup your config

cp .env.template .env
vi .env

Run the container

docker-compose up -d
docker logs restic -f

Operation

Monitoring

For monitoring purposes the script data/restic/push-metric.sh is executed prior to and after any backup. If the environment variable $PROM_GW_URL is set the respective Prometheus Push Gateway will get informed about the backup start and result (stop, incomplete, fail). In case of a proper stop, further statistics will be send to the Push Gateway.
