2devnull/docker-backuppc repository overview

⁠Summary

• BackupPC⁠ based on Ubuntu 14.04
• Support for sending status mail using msmtp

⁠How to use

⁠Configure Mail

• You can use environment variables MAILHOST and FROM to set the target mail relay host and mail "from" address, respectively.

⁠Configure user credentials

• change backuppc htaccess password in Dockerfile line 19 (or you may change it in the mapped configuration volume)

⁠SSH Keys

If you use rsync based backup, an SSH key is generated for you. You can configure any backup target to accept this key

⁠Build and run the container

• cd into the directory
• run docker build
• run the image docker run -d -P -v /<your-backup-folder>:/var/lib/backuppc -v /conf-dir:/etc/backuppc <image-id>

⁠Volume Use

This image declares /var/lib/backuppc and /etc/backuppc as volumes. You SHOULD map /var/lib/backuppc to a host volume (this will contain your backups). You MAY map /etc/backuppc to a location to preserve configuration if you re-create your docker container.
