CoBRA - Comprehensive Backing up and Restoration Archiver

Cobra is a tool for creating, managing and restoring backups. It is designed to cover docker powered applications as well as it allows backing up of regular file system folders.

Run tests

git clone https://github.com/yell0w4x/cobra.git
cd cobra
./run-tests --unit

The above will run unit tests. To run end-to-end tests run as follows. Note that docker must reside in the system. To install it on Ubuntu wget -qO- https://get.docker.com | sudo bash. On Manjaro (Arch) sudo pacman -S docker.

./run-tests --e2e --folder-id goolge-drive-folder-id --key path/to/google-service-account-key.json

or

GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID=goolge-drive-folder-id GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACC_KEY=path/to/key.json ./run-tests --e2e

The tests are based on pytest. All the extra arguments are passed to pytest. So to have verbose output use -v or -vv. To show stdout -s. To run certain tests use -k test_name and etc. For details see the pytest docs.

./run-tests --help
Run cobra unit and e2e tests.

    ./run-tests [OPTIONS] [EXTRA_ARGS]

How to use

pip install cobra-archiver

CLI

After that cobra command will be available from the command line.

To get the cli description please issue cobra --help or e.g. cobra backup --help to get help on certain command.

This will backup all the docker volumes ss well as /want/this/dir/backed/up directory, but skip-this-volume and-this-one.

cobra backup build --push --dir /want/this/dir/backed/up \
    --creds /path/to/google-service-acc-key.json --folder-id google-drive-folder-id \
    --exclude skip-this-volume and-this-one

This restores latest backup from the given remote folder.

cobra backup pull --latest --restore \
    --creds /path/to/google-service-acc-key.json --folder-id google-drive-folder-id

Remote storage

For now Google Drive only supported. If you find this project useful you can contribute to enhance it. Or at least you can post a feature request.

1. To have this work the Google Service Account is necessary. The service account id (email) looks like <the-name-you-choose>@hip-heading-376120.iam.gserviceaccount.com.
2. Under the service account you've created add the key pair and download it in .json format.
3. Now create the folder within your Google Drive you wish to push the backups in.
4. Share this folder with the service account (email) from step 1.

Python

Minimum python version is 3.7.

from cobra.api import Api
from cobra.hooks import Hooks
from docker import DockerClient

api = Api(gateway=DockerClient(), hooks=Hooks())
api.backup_build()

Method parameters are described in cli help cobra backup --help e.g.
