github-backup-to-s3

A tool to backup all your github repos to a aws s3 bucket. It can optionally backup just an organisation's repositories.

Usage

copy .env.example and rename it .env and setup the config variables.

AWS Credentials

create a new IAM user with programmatic access and add access to putObject on the specific bucket you want to backup.

(no other permissions is needed)

the policy could look something like:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "123456789",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::REPLACE-WITH-BUCKET-NAME/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Run in organisation module

In your .env, set:

GITHUB_ORGANISATION to the name of the Organisation

BACKUP_MODE=organisation

Run locally

node index.js

Deploy to aws lambda

it might be more useful to deploy it with a schedule on aws lambda, so it will backup with a given interval.

install Serverless Framework

npm install -g serverless

optionally make modifications to serverless.yml and run

choose the scheduling interval: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/ScheduledEvents.html

serverless deploy -v --schedule-expression 'rate(2 hours)'

// every hour
serverless deploy -v --schedule-expression 'rate(0 * * * ? *)'

// every 5 minute
serverless deploy -v --schedule-expression 'cron(*/5 * * * ? *)'
