Github-Backup-Docker-Util

Backup your entire GitHub account to a remote location using Docker

Utilities used

• rclone
• python-github-backup

Setting Up

• First, get a hold of your rclone.conf file. You can do this by running rclone config (in this container or not) and then finding the file at ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf. Once you have that file, be sure to mount it to ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf in the container using a volume. Feel free to store this anywhere on the host machine in a safe, but accessible location.
• Modify the .env file by using .env.sample as your template. Either use the .env file and enable it when running the container using --env-file or the -e flag.
• Run the following command while being sure to subsitute your own environment file and rclone.conf volume paths: docker run --rm -v ~/Github-Backup-Docker-Util/rclone:/root/.config/rclone --env-file ~/Github-Backup-Docker-Util/.env jeffresc/github-backup:latest
