Restic Controller

A controller for the restic backup program that manages restic repositories, configurable via a yaml file.

Features

• Backupping
• Integrity Checks
• Retention
• Offsite backups via Rsync
• Auto-reloading of the configuration at runtime

Usage Example

docker-compose.yml

services:
  restic-controller:
    image: ghcr.io/syynek/restic-controller:latest
    volumes:
      - "./config.yml:/app/config.yml"
      - "./backup-data:/data:ro"
      - "./backups:/repositories"
      # Mount SSH keys and config to use Rsync
      - "/root/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro"

Note

To use the restic controller with docker, you will need to bind mount any files you would like to back up into a folder within the docker container.
