Postgres Barman docker image
10K+
This repo contains files used to build a docker image for running BaRMan, the "Backup and Recovery Manager for PostgreSQL."
It is easily used in conjunction with the tbeadle/postgres:<version>-barman
images at https://hub.docker.com/r/tbeadle/postgres/.
docker-compose pull
If you would like to build the image yourself, simply run:
docker-compose build
Running the image can be as simple as
docker-compose up
but you will likely want to create your own docker-compose.yml file to define
volumes that will be mounted for persistent data. See the Environment
variables section below.
The barman program is run inside the container as the barman user. If you
enter a shell in the container and want to run barman commands, make sure to run
them as the barman user using gosu barman <barman command>. For example:
gosu barman barman check all
gosu barman barman backup all
See the examples/ directory for examples of how to use this image.
Currently only streaming of WAL logs is supported. Using postgres's
archive_command functionality is not supported at this time.
The following environment variables may be set when starting the container:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| BARMAN_CRON_SRC | This directory holds files that will be copied in to /etc/cron.d/ and have the correct permissions set so that they will be run via cron. This can be used as a place to put cron jobs for performing regular basebackups. Defaults to /private/cron.d. |
| BARMAN_LOG_DIR | The location where log files can be stored. For example, a cron job can be set up to take regular full backups and that can send its logs here. Defaults to /var/log/barman. |
| BARMAN_SSH_KEY_DIR | This directory in the container (most likely mounted as a volume) should contain SSH private key files that are used when connecting via SSH to the database servers that you're backing up. This happens if the backup_method defined in the barman config for the server is set to rsync. The ssh_command for that server should include -i /home/barman/.ssh/<private_key_filename>. Note that the keys are copied from this directory to /home/barman/.ssh/ to ensure ownership/permissions are properly set. Defaults to /private/ssh. |
| BARMAN_PGPASSFILE | The path to a file in the container that is a pgpass file containing the passwords for the users used when connecting to the database servers. The users are defined by the conninfo and streaming_conninfo configuration variables for the servers. This file is copied to /home/barman/.pgpass when the container is started. Defaults to /private/pgpass. |
| BARMAN_CRON_SCHEDULE | * * * * *, barman cron running scheduel |
| BARMAN_BACKUP_SCHEDULE | 0 4 * * *, barman backup running schedule |
| BARMAN_LOG_LEVEL | INFO, barman log level |
| DB_HOST | pg, postgres host name |
| DB_PORT | 5432, postgres port |
| DB_SUPERUSER | postgres, superuser username |
| DB_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD | postgres, superuser password |
| DB_SUPERUSER_DATABASE | postgres, superuser database |
| DB_REPLICATION_USER | standby, replication username |
| DB_REPLICATION_PASSWORD | standby, replication user password |
| DB_SLOT_NAME | barman, postgres replication slot name for barman |
| DB_BACKUP_METHOD | postgres, barman backup method, see barman backup |
| Path | Description | /home/barman/.ssh/id_rsa | the private ssh key that barman will use to connect to remote host when recovery
