borgbackup

This repository contains the Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files for running borg in a docker container.

Usage

To use this container, run the supplied docker-compose.yml and substitute the SSH_PASSWORD environment variable for one of your choice (This is not your borg passphrase that is used to encrypt your backup).

Create your first repository

Create your first repository against the container using:

borg init -e repokey borg@[IP]:/opt/borg/<repository name>

If you have selected another port other than 22, you can change the port used by borg by running export BORG_RSH="ssh -p <port>" on the client running the backup command.

From here you should follow the usage documentation provided on borgbackup.readthedocs.io.

DISCLAIMER: MAKE SURE TO STORE YOUR PASSPHRASE IN A SECURE LOCATION. IF IT IS LOST, YOUR BACKUPS WILL BECOME UNRECOVERABLE.
