mirantis/dtr backup¶
Create a backup of MSR
Usage¶
docker run -i --rm mirantis/dtr \
backup [command options] > backup.tar
Example Commands¶
Basic¶
docker run -i --rm --log-driver none mirantis/dtr:2.9.15 \
backup --ucp-ca "$(cat ca.pem)" --existing-replica-id 5eb9459a7832 > backup.tar
Advanced (with chained commands)¶
The following command has been tested on Linux:
DTR_VERSION=$(docker container inspect $(docker container ps -f \
name=dtr-registry -q) | grep -m1 -Po '(?<=DTR_VERSION=)\d.\d.\d'); \
REPLICA_ID=$(docker inspect -f '{{.Name}}' $(docker ps -q -f name=dtr-rethink) | cut -f 3 -d '-'); \
read -p 'ucp-url (The MKE URL including domain and port): ' UCP_URL; \
read -p 'ucp-username (The MKE administrator username): ' UCP_ADMIN; \
read -sp 'ucp password: ' UCP_PASSWORD; \
docker run --log-driver none -i --rm \
--env UCP_PASSWORD=$UCP_PASSWORD \
mirantis/dtr:$DTR_VERSION backup \
--ucp-username $UCP_ADMIN \
--ucp-url $UCP_URL \
--ucp-ca "$(curl https://${UCP_URL}/ca)" \
--existing-replica-id $REPLICA_ID > \
dtr-metadata-${DTR_VERSION}-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H_%M_%S).tar
Description¶
This command creates a tar
file with the contents of the volumes
used by MSR, and prints it. You can then use mirantis/dtr restore
to
restore the data from an existing backup.
Note
This command only creates backups of configurations, and image metadata. It does not back up users and organizations. Users and organizations can be backed up during a MKE backup.
It also does not back up Docker images stored in your registry. You should implement a separate backup policy for the Docker images stored in your registry, taking into consideration whether your MSR installation is configured to store images on the filesystem or is using a cloud provider.
This backup contains sensitive information and should be stored securely.
Using the
--offline-backup
flag temporarily shuts down the RethinkDB container. Take the replica out of your load balancer to avoid downtime.
Options¶
Option |
Environment variable |
Description |
---|---|---|
|
$DEBUG |
Enable debug mode for additional logs. |
|
$MSR_REPLICA_ID |
The ID of an existing MSR replica. To add, remove or modify a MSR replica, you must connect to an existing healthy replica’s database. |
|
$$MSR_EXTENDED_HELP |
Display extended help text for a given command. |
|
MSR_IGNORE_EVENTS_TABLE |
Option to prevent backup of the events table for online backups, to reduce backup size (the option is not available for offline backups). |
|
$NOCOLOR |
Disable output coloring in logs. |
|
$MSR_OFFLINE_BACKUP |
This flag takes RethinkDB down during backup and takes a more reliable backup. If you back up MSR with this flag, RethinkDB will go down during backup. However, offline backups are guaranteed to be more consistent than online backups. |
|
$UCP_CA |
Use a PEM-encoded TLS CA certificate for MKE. Download the MKE
TLS CA certificate from |
|
$UCP_INSECURE_TLS |
Disable TLS verification for MKE. The installation
uses TLS but always trusts the TLS certificate used by MKE, which can
lead to MITM (man-in-the-middle) attacks. For production deployments,
use |
|
$UCP_PASSWORD |
The MKE administrator password. |
|
$UCP_URL |
The MKE URL including domain and port. |
|
$UCP_USERNAME |
The MKE administrator username. |
