strategy for desktop / laptop machines

[Jérémy Viès]

hi all,

I use ElkarBackup since a few weeks now, mainly to backup a VPS that hosts Docker containers. It's perfect for that job.

I've also set it up to backup my home server, using a Docker installation with binded volumes. It was not as simple as I hoped. I used some pre/post scripts with ssh to my host to start/stop some DBs before the backup. But it does the job.

Now I want to replace my home made rsync based scripts I run on my desktop and laptop machines. The configuration is quite simple, I only need to backup /home and /etc, without any DBs or weird services.

But my consideration is about the scheduling, I use to plan one backup per day, so cron and anacron did the scheduling for me. As soon as the computer was switched-on, the backup started. How can I do such a think with ElkarBackup ? I've checked the newly REST API, but I can't find any "start backup now"...

Best regards,

Hi Jérémy,

You can leverage the token field in job's advanced settings:

It seems to be available in https only.

I use the Docker installation, with traefik forwarding my https to the http.

I can't find any option to disable the https check...

Hi Jérémy,

You're right. It is forcing https and it has no sense specially in Docker environments. You can fill a request if you want.

Thanks

Hi,

I think token is a password for launching a backup. Better use HTTPS for the request. Have you tried this:

I think the problem is that he is accessing Elkarbackup web ui via a reverse proxy (Traefik). The traffic between the browser and Traefik is using HTTPS, but Elkarbackup itself is running HTTP.

So probably it's not recognizing the request as secure ?

Yes the problem is on Elkarbackup side, not on curl.
