⛺️ Runtipi Apps Backup Script 💾

Script for backing up runtipi apps data with retention policy.

How to use ?

I suggest to refer directly into runtipi official guides here : runtipi.io/docs
Thanks to Stavros for documentation and publishing. 🤩

✍️ Define values

⛺️ runtipi path

You need to set your tipiPath to point to your actual runtipi path.

🗓 retention

Retention policy is defined in script and is 3 by default, you can change it to your own convenience :

dailyRetention=3
weeklyRetention=3
monthlyRetention=3

This define the number of files that will be kept for each type of backup.

⚙️ Arguments

Accepted Values	Description	Default	Required
monthly,weekly,daily	Set the name of the final backup, for example if you use daily the backup name will be myapp-daily-date.tar.gz	daily	no
stop,ignore	Stop the app before backing up or backup anyway.	stop	no
path	Specify a path to a file describing what apps you want to backup, each app id in a new line.	none	no

⏰ Cron example

0 2 * * 0 /path/to/runtipi/scripts/backup_runtipi_apps.sh daily
0 3 * * 0 /path/to/runtipi/scripts/backup_runtipi_apps.sh weekly
0 4 * * 0 /path/to/runtipi/scripts/backup_runtipi_apps.sh monthly

✨ How to restore an app ?

Simply use the restore functionnality from Runtipi WebUI.
My Apps → AppName → Backups
Choose your desired backup and select Restore

🤔 Considered enhancements

1. Restoration Script : It was initially planned but built-in runtipi backup functionnality made it feel unnecessary.
2. Using Runtipi built-in functionalities : Runtipi is growing and may add backup support in runtipi-cli, it could probably even make this script obsolete in the future.
