Dockerized duplicity backup tool.

Usage

Backup to Google Cloud Storage example

Google Cloud Storage nearline costs about $0.01/GB/Month.

Set up:

1. Sign up, create an empty project, enable billing, and create a bucket
2. Under "Storage" section > "Interoperability" tab > click "Enable interoperable access" and then "Create a new key" button and note both Access Key and Secret. Also note your Project Number (aka project ID, it's a number like 1233457890).
3. Run gcloud's gsutil config -a to generate the ~/.boto configuration file and give it all these info (alternatively you should be able to set environment variable GS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and GS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY however in my tries I didn't see where to set your project ID).

You should now have a ~/.boto looking like:

[Credentials]
gs_access_key_id = MYGOOGLEACCESSKEY
gs_secret_access_key = SomeVeryLongAccessKeyXXXXXXXX

[GSUtil]
default_project_id = 1233457890

Now you're ready to perform a backup:

$ docker run --rm --user $UID -v /:/data:ro -v ~/.boto:/home/duplicity/.boto:ro -e PASSPHRASE=P4ssw0rd duplicity duplicity /data gs://my-bucket-name/some_dir

To restore, you'll need:

• Keep keys or regenerate them to access your Google Cloud Storage.
• The PASSPHRASE you've used.

See also the note on Google Cloud Storage.

Backup to Google Drive example

Google Drive offers 15GB for free.

Set up:

1. Follow notes on Pydrive Backend to generate a P12 credential file (call it pydriveprivatekey.p12) and note also the associated service account email generated (e.g. duplicity@developer.gserviceaccount.com).

2. Convert P12 to PEM:

   $ docker run --rm -i --user $UID -v $PWD/pydriveprivatekey.p12:/pydriveprivatekey.p12:ro wernight/duplicity openssl pkcs12 -in /pydriveprivatekey.p12 -nodes -nocerts > pydriveprivatekey.pem
   Enter Import Password: notasecret
   

Now you're ready to perform a backup:

$ docker run --rm --user $UID -v /:/data:ro -e PASSPHRASE=P4ssw0rd -e GOOGLE_DRIVE_ACCOUNT_KEY=$(cat pydriveprivatekey.pem) duplicity duplicity /data pydrive://duplicity@developer.gserviceaccount.com/some_dir

To restore, you'll need:

• Regenerate a PEM file (or keep it somewhere).
• The PASSPHRASE you've used.
