TB-001 — Backup stack

Status: done — deployed 2026-06-11
Your call: Do it


Talk first

Stop. Don't read Reference until we've talked. In chat, say "let's do TB-001" or "backup stack".

In one sentence: Set up automatic nightly backups of configs and databases, with a copy off the server.

Why it came up: Right now nothing backs up /config or your databases — ZFS snapshots don't help if the whole machine dies.

Questions

  1. Does losing valhalla overnight scare you, or is 'I'll deal with it' okay for now?
  2. Do you already have offsite storage (Backblaze, Wasabi, another machine)?
  3. Kopia (has a UI) vs Restic (simpler CLI) — want a recommendation or don't care?

Your options

Option Meaning
Do it We're doing this — I'll implement or walk you through it
Later Keep on the list, not now
Drop Remove from plan — totally fine
Tweak Change scope; tell me how

What we decided

Decision Do it
Notes Kopia → Backblaze B2 (ginnoir-backup). Portainer stack #29. Scope per stacks/backup/SCOPE.md. UI: backup.ginnoir.com. ntfy topic backup. SQL dump + Kopia snapshot restore tested.

backup new stack

If we do it — rough steps

  1. Pick Kopia or Restic
  2. New stacks/backup/ with nightly schedule + ntfy on failure
  3. Script dumps for all Postgres/MariaDB/CouchDB
  4. One restore test so we know it works

Done when

  • Nightly backup runs without you (cron 02:50 dumps, 03:00 snapshots)
  • At least one restore tested (postgres_resume dump + Gitea repos snapshot from B2)
  • Failures ping ntfy (topic backup; test ping verified)
