Question to use the backup script? #7

Closed killmasta93 closed 2 years ago

Hi Currently looking at your script but i was wondering if you can shed some light on the issue, I would need to backup a docker container and import it another host,

reading the readme there is export volume file, import file volume,

in my case i need to export the volume which is located in /openvas then import it on another Host

but couldn't really understand how to do it with this script

Thank you

this is my current docker-compose file


version: "3"
services:
  openvas:
    ports:
      - "8080:9392"
    environment:
      - "PASSWORD=xxxxxx"
      - "USERNAME=admin"
      - "RELAYHOST=172.17.0.1"
      - "SMTPPORT=27"
      - "REDISDBS=512" # number of Redis DBs to use
      - "QUIET=false"  # dump feed sync noise to /dev/null
      - "NEWDB=false"  # only use this for creating a blank DB 
      - "SKIPSYNC=true" # Skips the feed sync on startup.
      - "RESTORE=false"  # This probably not be used from compose... see docs.
      - "DEBUG=false"  # This will cause the container to stop and not actually start gvmd
      - "HTTPS=false"  # wether to use HTTPS or not
      - "GMP=9390"    # to enable see docs
    volumes:
      - "/openvas:/data"
    container_name: openvas
    image: immauss/openvas:latest
  scannable:
    image: immauss/scannable
    container_name: scannable
volumes:
  openvas:

That's a bindmount, so docker doesn't create a named volume for it (openvas wouldn't be listed in docker volume ls). vackup doesn't do bindmounts since they are unmanageed.

thanks for the reply, so in this case the backup procedure would just copy the files?

BretFisher commented 2 years ago

I guess the point is, if you're bind-mounting, the files are in a place you control, which means you would control how they are backed up. vackup is really for getting files out of a volume that's only available in a container, making it harder to get at those files for backing them up.

thank you i think i figured it out i converted all my docker bindmounts to volumes
