Out of date docker image

[Travis Kessler]

Hi,

I’ve been testing out Elkar Backup docker image and have been happy with the results.  But I’ve noticed the image seems to be 4 years old without updates.  Which presents security and vulnerability issues.  Are there plans to update the image or is the project considered dead?  Thanks

I still use it today and it remains an excellent backup tool, even though it is obsolete.

I've been using Elkerbackup for a while to support pull-only backups. I haven't found a better replacement yet.
Until then, I'm working on my own fork to keep my setup running. Some minor fixes, some smaller improvements...

Feel free to use the docker images at https://github.com/ixs/elkarbackup/pkgs/container/elkarbackup which are automatically published from my tree.
No guarantees though. This is not something I would be comfortable running on the wider internet. The base image is newer, but still full of holes.
It's a low-level effort from my side.

Cheers,
 Andreas
