To aid in creating a solid backup strategy for your controller, we’ve put together an automated cron job that will take database backups and push them to a remote location using rclone.
For update to date instructions and implementation details, please view our GitHub repository: GitHub - ComputeStacks/controller-backups: Automated Controller Backups
Core Features:
- Postgresql db dumps and with compression
- Keep only a fixed number of backups
-
(optionally) Configure rclone to sync the database backup directory with a remote storage system, such as S3 or back blaze.
- (NOTE: just about every storage system is supported by rclone, check it out!)
Don’t forget to also retain a backup of your controller configuration file, located here: /etc/default/computestacks. The backup will not work without the details stored in this file!
