@ -4,6 +4,11 @@ This NixOS contract represents a backup job
|
|||
that will backup one or more files or directories
|
||||
at a regular schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
It is a contract between a service that has files to be backed up
|
||||
and a service that backs up files.
|
||||
All options in this contract should be set by the former.
|
||||
The latter will then use the values of those options to know what to backup.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contract Reference {#backup-contract-options}

These are all the options that are expected to exist for this contract to be respected.

## Usage {#backup-contract-usage}
|
||||
|
||||
A service that can be backed up will provide a `backup` option, like for the [Vaultwarden service][vaultwarden-service-backup].
|
||||
What this option defines is an implementation detail of that service
|
||||
but it will at least define what directories to backup
|
||||
A service that can be backed up will provide a `backup` option.
|
||||
What this option defines is, from the user perspective - that is _you_ - an implementation detail
|
||||
but it will at least define what directories to backup,
|
||||
the user to backup with
|
||||
and possibly hooks to run before or after the backup job runs.
|
||||
|
||||
[vaultwarden-service-backup]: services-vaultwarden.html#services-vaultwarden-options-shb.vaultwarden.backup
|
||||
Here is an example module defining such a `backup` option:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
shb.<service>.backup
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Let's assume a module implementing this contract is available under the `shb.<backup_impl>` variable.
|
||||
Then, to actually backup the service, one would write:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
shb.<backup_impl>.instances."<service>" = shb.<service>.backup // {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
|
||||
# Options specific to backup_impl
|
||||
{
|
||||
options = {
|
||||
myservice.backup = lib.mkOption {
|
||||
type = contracts.backup;
|
||||
readOnly = true;
|
||||
default = {
|
||||
user = "myservice";
|
||||
sourceDirectories = [
|
||||
"/var/lib/myservice"
|
||||
];
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, for extra caution, a second backup could be made using another module `shb.<backup_impl_2>`:
|
||||
As you can see, NixOS modules are a bit abused to make contracts work.
|
||||
Default values are set as well as the `readOnly` attribute to ensure those values stay as defined.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, on the other side we have a service that uses this `backup` option and actually backs up files.
|
||||
Let's assume such a module is available under the `backupservice` option
|
||||
and that one can create multiple backup instances under `backupservice.instances`.
|
||||
Then, to actually backup the `myservice` service, one would write:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
shb.<backup_impl_2>.instances."<service>" = shb.<service>.backup // {
|
||||
backupservice.instances.myservice = myservice.backup // {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
|
||||
# Options specific to backup_impl_2
|
||||
repository = {
|
||||
path = "/srv/backup/myservice";
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
# ... Other options specific to backupservice like scheduling.
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is advised to backup files to different location, to improve redundancy.
|
||||
Thanks to using contracts, this can be made easily either with the same `backupservice`:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
backupservice.instances.myservice_2 = myservice.backup // {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
|
||||
repository = {
|
||||
path = "<remote path>";
|
||||
};
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or with another module `backupservice_2`!
|
||||
|
||||
## Provided Implementations {#backup-contract-impl}
|
||||
|
||||
An implementation here is a service that understands the `backup` contract
|
||||
and will backup the files accordingly.
|
||||
|
||||
One implementation is provided out of the box:
|
||||
- [Restic block](blocks-restic.html).
|
||||
|
||||
A second one based on `borgbackup` is in progress.

### Backup the Nextcloud data {#services-nextcloud-server-usage-backup}

TODO
|
||||
Backing up Nextcloud using the [Restic block](blocks-restic.html) is done like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
shb.restic.instances."nextcloud" = config.shb.nextcloud.backup // {
|
||||
enable = true;
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The name `"nextcloud"` in the `instances` can be anything.
|
||||
The `config.shb.nextcloud.backup` option provides what directories to backup.
|
||||
You can define any number of Restic instances to backup Nextcloud multiple times.
