awsbck

This utility lets you compress a folder and upload it to a AWS S3 bucket, once or periodically.

Disclaimer

This software is in early alpha. It is not intended for production use yet. It has not been thoroughly tested yet. The CLI options will certainly change.

Usage

``` Usage: awsbck [OPTIONS] [FOLDER]

Arguments: [FOLDER] Path to the folder to backup [env: AWSBCK_FOLDER=]

Options: -i, --interval Specify an interval in seconds to run the backup periodically [env: AWSBCKINTERVAL=] -f, --filename The name of the archive that will be uploaded to S3, without extension (optional) [env: AWSBCKFILENAME=] -r, --region The AWS S3 region [env: AWSREGION=] -b, --bucket The AWS S3 bucket name [env: AWSBUCKET=] --id The AWS S3 access key ID [env: AWSACCESSKEYID=] -k, --key The AWS S3 secret access key [env: AWSSECRETACCESSKEY=] -h, --help Print help (see more with '--help') -V, --version Print version ```

Example

```shell

The .env file in the current directory is read by awsbck

$ cat .env AWSREGION="eu-central-1" AWSACCESSKEYID="YOURKEYID" AWSSECRETACCESS_KEY="yoursecret"

$ awsbck -i 3600 -b mybucket /myfolder ```

Docker example

$ export AWS_REGION="eu-central-1" $ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="YOUR_KEY_ID" $ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="yoursecret" $ docker run \ --rm \ --mount type=bind,src="$(pwd)"/target,dst=/target,readonly \ -e AWS_REGION -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY \ vbersier/awsbck:latest \ -i 3600 -b my_bucket /target

Cargo

Docker

This utility is available as a docker image vbersier/awsbck.

There are two tag variants, one running as a non-root user (latest) and one as a root user (root-latest).

This image is particularly useful to backup named volumes in docker. If you encounter problems where the awsbck logs report a permissions problem, then you can try to switch to the root-latest tag.

Below an example of using it with docker compose:

```yml

version: '3.2'

volumes: database:

services: postgresql: image: postgres:14 restart: unless-stopped volumes: - type: volume source: database target: /var/lib/postgresql/data/ awsbck: image: vbersier/awsbck:root-latest # postgres uses UID 999 which can't be accessed as nonroot restart: unless-stopped volumes: - type: volume source: database target: /database readonly: true environment: AWSBCKFOLDER: /database AWSBCKINTERVAL: 86400 # every 24h AWSREGION: eu-central-1 AWSBUCKET: mybucket AWSACCESSKEYID: $AWSACCESSKEYID AWSSECRETACCESSKEY: $AWSSECRETACCESSKEY ```
