guoyu-/auto-gitlab-backup

A simple script to backup Gitlab data. This script will backup the backup archives of your gitlab installation to a remote host, if configured.

auto gitlab Backup

---

A script to use omnibus-gitlab's own backup gitlab-rake command on a cron schedule and rsync to another server, if wanted. There is also a restore script available (see below.)

It can backup and copy the Gitlab-CI DB, if configured.

This script is now more omnibus-gitlab centric. Compare your config file with the template! Usage with a source install is possible but not expressly shown here.

Clone

clone to your directory of choice. I usually use /usr/local/sbin

Set up gitlab to expire backups

Change /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb to expire backups

# backup keep time
gitlab_rails['backup_keep_time'] = 604800

If you use the CI server, enable CI Backup expiration

## Backup settings
  backup:
    path: "tmp/backups"   # Relative paths are relative to Rails.root (default: tmp/backups/)
# limit CI backup lifetime to 7 days - 604800 seconds
gitlab_ci['backup_keep_time'] = 604800

Configure the script for remote copy

cp auto-gitlab-backup.conf.sample auto-gitlab-backup.conf

edit auto-gitlab-backup.conf

restore a backup

Still under development but useful

run ./restoreGitLab.sh -r and it will attempt to restore a backup. You may have to run some rake commands manually.
