Summary

Adds backup and restore support for PeerTube using Backup Bot Two and the CoopCloud backup specification.

PostgreSQL is backed up using pg_dump instead of copying the live database volume.

Changes

Enable Backup Bot Two support.
Back up persistent PeerTube data and configuration.
Exclude temporary, cache, and live database volumes.
Add a PostgreSQL helper service for backup and restore hooks.
Clean up temporary database dumps after backups and successful restores.

Why an additional backup service?

The current PostgreSQL image (pgautoupgrade:18-alpine) does not include Bash, which Backup Bot Two requires to execute hooks. A lightweight postgres:18-trixie helper service allows pg_dump and pg_restore to run without modifying the existing database image.

Testing

Tested with PeerTube 8.3.2 and PostgreSQL 18.

Successfully created and verified a Restic snapshot.
Restored the PostgreSQL dump into an isolated database (76 tables).
Removed the PeerTube stack and all eight volumes.
Redeployed PeerTube and successfully restored it using Backup Bot Two.
Verified that the original user and published video were recovered.
Confirmed automatic cleanup of the temporary database dump after restoration.

AI Assistance

Developed with assistance from ChatGPT (OpenAI LLM), with backup and full restoration tested in a real CoopCloud environment.
