PG Back Web isn't just another backup tool. It's your trusted ally in ensuring the security and availability of your PostgreSQL data:
PG Back Web is available as a Docker image. You just need to set 3 environment variables and you're good to go!
Here's an example of how you can run PG Back Web with Docker Compose, feel free to adapt it to your needs:

pgbackweb:
image: eduardolat/pgbackweb:latest
ports:
- "8085:8085" # Access the web interface at http://localhost:8085
volumes:
- ./backups:/backups # If you only use S3 destinations, you don't need this volume
environment:
PBW_ENCRYPTION_KEY: "my_secret_key" # Change this to a strong key
PBW_POSTGRES_CONN_STRING: "postgresql://postgres:password@postgres:5432/pgbackweb?sslmode=disable"

You can watch this youtube video to see how easy it is to set up PG Back Web.
You only need to configure the following environment variables:
PBW_ENCRYPTION_KEY
: Your encryption key. Generate a strong one and store it in a safe place, as PG Back Web uses it to encrypt sensitive data.
PBW_POSTGRES_CONN_STRING
: The connection string for the PostgreSQL database that will store PG Back Web data.
TZ
: Your timezone (optional). Default is UTC
. This impacts logging, backup filenames and default timezone in the web interface.
You can reset your PG Back Web password by running the following command in the server where PG Back Web is running:
docker exec -it <container_name_or_id> sh -c change-password
You should replace <container_name_or_id>
with the name or ID of the PG Back Web container, then just follow the instructions.
