Michael #1: Backup Docker volumes locally or to any S3

  • Via Bryan Weber (thanks Bryan!), who spotted it over on Virtualization HowTo. Find Bryan at bryanwweber.com.
  • offen/docker-volume-backup is a lightweight companion container that backs up the volumes your apps actually depend on, then ships them somewhere safe.
  • It's tiny: written in Go and about 25MB compressed, roughly 1/20th the size of the shell-based image (jareware/docker-volume-backup) that inspired it.
  • Drop it into your docker compose file as a backup service, mount the volumes you care about as read-only, and you're off.
  • Push backups to a pile of destinations: a local directory, plus any S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, or SSH-compatible target. Mix and match as many as you want in one run.
  • Recurring cron-style backups in a Compose setup, or one-off backups straight from the Docker CLI.
