Create a backup of DTR

Usage

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 the 'restore' command to restore the data from an existing backup.

Note:

  • This command only creates backups of configurations, and image metadata. It doesn't backup users and organizations. Users and organizations can be backed up when performing a UCP backup.

    It also doesn't backup the Docker images stored in your registry. You should implement a separate backup policy for the Docker images stored in your registry, taking in consideration whether your DTR installation is configured to store images on the filesystem or using a cloud provider.

  • This backup contains sensitive information and should be stored securely.

  • Using the '--offline-backup' flag will temporarily shut down the rethinkdb container. You should 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 DTR, 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, it will be guaranteed to be consistent. With online backups there's no guarantee of consistency..
--ucp-ca $UCP_CA Use a PEM-encoded TLS CA certificate for UCP.Download the UCP TLS CA certificate from https:///ca, and use --ucp-ca "$(cat ca.pem)".
--ucp-insecure-tls $UCP_INSECURE_TLS Disable TLS verification for UCP.The installation uses TLS but always trusts the TLS certificate used by UCP, which can lead to man-in-the-middle attacks. For production deployments, use --ucp-ca "$(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.
