amimof/kubebck repository overview

⁠kubebck

Kubernetes resource backup and exporter. kubbck relies on kubectl to export kubernetes resources from one or more clusters. The exported resources are stored as yaml files on the filesystem.

⁠How to run

The easiest and best way of running kubebck is by using Docker. You need to provide a kubeconfig file to the container as well as a storage area for the exported data. We can use a volume mount for this.

docker run \
  -d --privileged \
  -v /var/lib/kubebck/data/:/kubebck \
  -v /var/lib/kubebck/config:/config \
  amimof/kubebck:latest

This example will connect to the Kubernetes clusters using the contexts defined in the provided kubeconfig file and store exported data to /var/lib/kubebck/data on the container host. After the kubebck container is finished backing up all clusters, the container will terminate and the content of the output directory will look something like this.
