Resticker runs automatic restic backups via a Docker container.
The project provides example configs to set up a backup schedule.
The Compose files contain a backup, a prune and a check service which can be scheduled independently of each other. Feel free to remove the prune and/or check service if you want to run the prune jobs manually.
If you have multiple services configured for the same repository, make sure, that at most one service is allowed to initialize the repository or a newly created repository might become corrupt.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Run scheduled backups.
- Backup to any (local or remote) target supported by restic.
- Support for tags, exclude definitions, and all other optional restic options.
- Automatic forgetting of old backups.
- Prune backups on a schedule.
- Remove a stale repository lock.
- Can be used as a (global) Docker swarm service in order to backup every cluster node.
- Multi-arch: the image mazzolino/restic runs on amd64 as well as armv7.
