[![Build and Publish Docker Image](https://github.com/Aterfax/pbs-client-docker/actions/workflows/docker-publish.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Aterfax/pbs-client-docker/actions/workflows/docker-publish.yml)

## **tl;dr?**
**Q:** What does this Docker image do?
**A:** It lets you run the Proxmox Backup Server client and backup things from any directory mounted within /backups inside the container.
## Longer summary
This container is still a work in progress but the main feature (cronjob'd backups) now works.
Reading and using the ``docker-compose\docker-compose.yml`` and example ``.env.example`` file should be illustrative on how to use this container. See also: [Using-the-DockerHub-provided-image](#Using-the-DockerHub-provided-image)

## Quickstart
### Prerequisites
* You are running a platform which supports Docker and you have Docker installed on your system. i.e. a Linux machine or cloud VM. You can download it from [here](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
* You understand how to bind mount / volume mount in docker.
### Using the DockerHub provided image
* Run the image with the provided docker-compose file amending where needed.
* Bind mount the folders or volumes you wish to backup into the continer's ``/backups`` directiory.
* Supply your desired ``master-public.pem``, ``master-private.pem`` and ``encryption-key.json`` files or allow the container to automatically generate them on first run.
* If you do allow automatic generation passwords will be echoed to the container logs only once during first run!
* Backup the ``master-public.pem``, ``master-private.pem`` and ``encryption-key.json`` files and passwords.
* Populate the environment file with the correct ``PBS_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD`` value.
* Restart the container and check the logs to confirm a successful backup.
### Using a self built image
* Navigate to the ``docker`` subdirectory and run the command ``docker build -t $USER/pbs-client .``
* Take a note of the final line of this command's output e.g. :
=> => naming to docker.io/myusername/pbs-client
* Amend the [docker-compose/docker-compose.yml](docker-compose/docker-compose.yml) image line to:
image: myusername/pbs-client
* You can now follow the instructions as per the [Using the DockerHub provided image](#Using-the-DockerHub-provided-image) section.
