Create a backup of DTR
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -i --rm docker/dtr \
|
|
backup [command options] > backup.tar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This command creates a `tar` file with the contents of the volumes used by
|
|
DTR, and prints it. You can then use `docker/dtr restore` to restore the data
|
|
from an existing backup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
|
|
* This command only creates backups of configurations, and image metadata.
|
|
It does not back up users and organizations. Users and organizations can be
|
|
backed up during a UCP backup.
|
|
|
|
It also does not back up Docker images stored in your registry.
|
|
You should implement a separate backup policy for the Docker images stored
|
|
in your registry, taking into consideration whether your DTR installation is
|
|
configured to store images on the filesystem or is using a cloud provider.
|
|
|
|
* This backup contains sensitive information and should be
|
|
stored securely.
|
|
|
|
* Using the `--offline-backup` flag temporarily shuts down the RethinkDB container.
|
|
Take the replica out of your load balancer to avoid downtime.

## Options
|
|
|
|
| Option | Environment Variable | Description |
|
|
|:------------------------------|:--------------------------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `--debug` | $DEBUG | Enable debug mode for additional logs. |
|
|
| `--existing-replica-id` | $DTR_REPLICA_ID | The ID of an existing DTR replica. To add, remove or modify a DTR replica, you must connect to an existing healthy replica's database. |
|
|
| `--help-extended` | $DTR_EXTENDED_HELP | Display extended help text for a given command. |
|
|
| `--offline-backup` | $DTR_OFFLINE_BACKUP | This flag takes RethinkDB down during backup and takes a more reliable backup. If you back up DTR with this flag, RethinkDB will go down during backup. However, offline backups are guaranteed to be more consistent than online backups. |
|
|
| `--ucp-ca` | $UCP_CA | Use a PEM-encoded TLS CA certificate for UCP. Download the UCP TLS CA certificate from `https://<ucp-url>/ca`, and use `--ucp-ca "$(cat ca.pem)"`. |
|
|
| `--ucp-insecure-tls` | $UCP_INSECURE_TLS | Disable TLS verification for UCP. The installation uses TLS but always trusts the TLS certificate used by UCP, which can lead to MITM (man-in-the-middle) attacks. For production deployments, use `--ucp-ca "$(cat ca.pem)"` instead. |
|
|
| `--ucp-password` | $UCP_PASSWORD | The UCP administrator password. |
|
|
| `--ucp-url` | $UCP_URL | The UCP URL including domain and port. |
|
|
| `--ucp-username` | $UCP_USERNAME | The UCP administrator username. |
