Shipment insurance for docker containers

docker-lloyd-local

Lloyd's Coffee House was the first marine insurance company.

This tools backups Docker volume containers and stores them in a local directory.

To use it, run:

$ docker run \
         -v /var/run/docker.sock:/docker.sock \
         -v /var/lib/docker/vfs/dir:/var/lib/docker/vfs/dir \
         -v /host-backup-location:/backups
         tpett/docker-lloyd-local \
         container-a container-b container-c...

This will run docker-backup, gzip a tarball named after the container and put it in BACKUP_DIR (default "/backup"). By default, the files will be stored for 2 weeks. You can override this by setting the environment variable BACKUP_KEEP_DAYS.

See the original project docker-lloyd if you would like to upload your files to S3.

See docker-backup on how to restore a backup.

The Dockerfile passes command line options to docker-backup by setting the OPTS environment variable. If you need to override/change those, you can set it on the command line:

$ docker run -e OPTS="-addr=/foo/docker.sock" ...
