Proxmox Backup Server on a Docker container

Proxmox Backup Server on a Docker container

Known limits

• Postfix is not working
• (and maybe many other things)

How to run

./run.sh ;-)
What does run.sh do:

• set docker ENV vars if they are set in the script or in the .envs file
• set shell script vars if they are set in the script or in the .shell-vars file (see example)
• check if datastore exists; if not, it exits prior to run the container (maybe in future i'll make it more smart, see To DO section)
• run the container

or
docker run -d --name pbs neomediatech/pbs

Environment Variables

Name	Description	Default
ADMIN_PASSWORD	Password to access PBS web interface (mandatory)	(none)
RELAY_HOST	Hostname to use to relay email from Postfix
PBS_ENTERPRISE	If set to "yes", enterprise repository will be retained	no

Set vars in run.sh script and/or set them in .envs file.
Example .envs file:

ADMIN_PASSWORD=myrealsecretpassword
RELAY_HOST=10.40.50.4

run.sh script shell vars

Name	Description	Default
INTERACTIVE	Run the container in "interactive mode" (run it in foreground) CTRL+C will end the container	no
MOUNT_PBS_MOUNT	mount the mountpoint set in PBS_MOUNT var? Must be in the fstab host	yes
CREATE_DATASTORE	Create the datastore if it doesn't exists? (The name will be "pbs")	no
NAME	Proxmox Backup Server name	pbs
PBS_DATASTORE_NAME	The datastore name	pbs
BASE_PATH	Path where to store PBS configurations, users, etc...	/srv/pbs
PBS_MOUNT	Path to store backups	/media/pbs-backup

.shell-vars example file:

NAME="myserver-pbs"
PBS_DATASTORE_NAME="backups"
BASE_PATH="/srv/pbs"
INTERACTIVE="no"
MOUNT_PBS_MOUNT="no"
CREATE_DATASTORE="yes"
PBS_MOUNT="/mnt/pbs-backup"

Mountpoints/volumes

Put your docker bindmount in the script run.sh or in the .volumes file
.volumes example file:

${BASE_PATH}/data:/data
${BASE_PATH}/config:/etc/proxmox-backup
${BASE_PATH}/data/logs:/var/log/proxmox-backup
${BASE_PATH}/data/lib:/var/lib/proxmox-backup
${BASE_PATH}/data/bin:/srv/bin

To DO

• Option to create the datastore if it doesn't exists
• Make Postfix working, to send emails
