# Backupbot II: This Time It's Easily Configurable

Automatically backup files from running Docker Swarm services based on labels.

## Background

There are lots of Docker volume backup systems; all of them have one or both of
these problems:
 - You need to define all the volumes to back up in the configuration system
 - Backups require services to be stopped to take consistent copies

## TODO

- [ ] Make a Docker image of this
- [ ] Rip out or improve Restic stuff
- [ ] Add secret handling for database backups
- [ ] Continuous linting with shellcheck

## Label format

(Haven't done secrets yet, here are two options)

```
services:
  db:
    deploy:
      labels:
        backupbot.backup: "true"
        backupbot.backup.repos: "$some_thing"
        backupbot.backup.at: "* * * * *"
        backupbot.backup.pre-hook: 'mysqldump -u root -p"$(cat /run/secrets/db_root_password)" -f /tmp/dump/dump.db'
        backupbot.backup.post-hook: "rm -rf /tmp/dump/dump.db"
        backupbot.backup.path: "/tmp/dump/"
```

## Questions:

- Should frequency be configurable per service, centrally, or both?

```
- "backupbot.backup.at: "* * * * *"
```
