What is Duplicity?

duplicity backup tool.

Features of this Docker image:

• Small: Built using alpine.
• Simple: Most common cases are explained below and require minimal setup.
• Secure: Runs non-root by default (use randomly chosen UID 1896), and meant to run as any user.

Usage

For the general command-line syntax, do:

$ docker run --rm wernight/duplicity duplicity --help

In general you...

• Must mount what you want to backup or where you want to restore a backup.
• Should mount /home/duplicity/.cache/duplicity as writable somewhere (if not cached, duplicity will have to recreate it from the remote repository which may require decrypting the backup contents). Note it may be quite large and contains metadata info about files you've backed up in clear text.
• Should mount /home/duplicity/.gnupg as writable somewhere (that directory is used to validate incremental backups and shouldn't be necessary to restore your backup if you follows steps below).
• Should specify duplicity flag --allow-source-mismatch because Docker has a random host for each container.
• Could set environment variable PASSPHRASE, unless you want to type it manually in the prompt (remember then to add -it).
• May have to mount a few other files for authentication (see examples below).

Example of commands you may want to run periodically to back up with good clean-up/maintenance (see below for various storage options):

 $ docker run --rm ... wernight/duplicity duplicity --full-if-older-than=6M source_directory target_url
 $ docker run --rm ... wernight/duplicity duplicity remove-older-than 6M --force target_url
 $ docker run --rm ... wernight/duplicity duplicity cleanup --force target_url

This would do:

1. A full backup every 6 months so that restoration is a lot faster and for cleanup to work, and incremental backups the rest of the time.
2. Delete backups older than 6 months (doesn't break incremental backups).
3. Delete files from failed sessions (if any).

Backup to Google Cloud Storage example

Google Cloud Storage nearline costs about $0.01/GB/Month.

Set up:

1. Sign up, create an empty project, enable billing, and create a bucket

2. Under "Storage" section > "Settings" > "Interoperability" tab > click "Enable interoperable access" and then "Create a new key" button and note both Access Key and Secret. Also note your Project Number (aka project ID, it's a number like ***).

3. Run gcloud's gsutil config -a to generate the ~/.boto configuration file and give it all these info (alternatively you should be able to set environment variable GS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and GS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY however in my tries I didn't see where to set your project ID).

4. You should now have a ~/.boto looking like:

   [Credentials]
   gs_access_key_id = MYGOOGLEACCESSKEY
   gs_secret_access_key = SomeVeryLongAccessKeyXXXXXXXX
   
   [GSUtil]
   default_project_id = ***
   

Now you're ready to perform a backup:

$ docker run --rm --user $UID \
      -e PASSPHRASE=P4ssw0rd \
      -v $PWD/.cache:/home/duplicity/.cache/duplicity \
      -v $PWD/.gnupg:/home/duplicity/.gnupg \
      -v ~/.boto:/home/duplicity/.boto:ro \
      -v /:/data:ro \
      wernight/duplicity \
      duplicity --full-if-older-than=6M --allow-source-mismatch /data gs://my-bucket-name/some_dir

To restore, you'll need:

• Keep .boto or regenerate it to access your Google Cloud Storage.
• The PASSPHRASE you've used.

Example:

$ docker run --rm --user $UID \
      -e PASSPHRASE=P4ssw0rd \
      -v ~/.boto:/home/duplicity/.boto:ro \
      -v /:/data:ro \
      wernight/duplicity \
      duplicity restore gs://my-bucket-name/some_dir /data

Backup to Google Drive example

Google Drive offers 15GB for free.

Set up:

1. Follow notes on Pydrive Backend to generate a P12 credential file (call it pydriveprivatekey.p12) and note also the associated service account email generated (e.g. ***).

2. Convert P12 to PEM:

   $ docker run --rm -i --user $UID \
         -v $PWD/pydriveprivatekey.p12:/pydriveprivatekey.p12:ro \
         wernight/duplicity \
         openssl pkcs12 -in /pydriveprivatekey.p12 -nodes -nocerts >pydriveprivatekey.pem
   Enter Import Password: notasecret
   

Now you're ready to perform a backup:

$ docker run --rm --user $UID \
      -e PASSPHRASE=P4ssw0rd \
      -e GOOGLE_DRIVE_ACCOUNT_KEY=$(cat pydriveprivatekey.pem) \
      -v $PWD/.cache:/home/duplicity/.cache/duplicity \
      -v $PWD/.gnupg:/home/duplicity/.gnupg \
      -v /:/data:ro \
      wernight/duplicity \
      duplicity --full-if-older-than=6M --allow-source-mismatch /data pydrive://***/some_dir

To restore, you'll need:

• Regenerate a PEM file (or keep it somewhere).
• The PASSPHRASE you've used.

Backup via rsync example

Supposing you've an SSH access to some machine, you can:

$ docker run --rm -it --user root \
      -e PASSPHRASE=P4ssw0rd \
      -v $PWD/.cache:/home/duplicity/.cache/duplicity \
      -v $PWD/.gnupg:/home/duplicity/.gnupg \
      -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/id_rsa:ro \
      -v ~/.ssh/known_hosts:/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts:ro \
      -v /:/data:ro \
      wernight/duplicity \
      duplicity --full-if-older-than=6M --allow-source-mismatch \
      --rsync-options='-e "ssh -i /id_rsa"' \
      /data rsync://***/some_dir

Note: We're running here as root to have access to ~/.ssh and also because ssh does not allow to use a random (non-locally existing) UID. To make it safer, you can copy your ~/.ssh and chown 1896 it (that is duplicity UID within the container). If you know a another way to avoid the "No user exists for uid" check, please let me know.

Alias

Here is a simple alias that should work in most cases:

$ alias duplicity='docker run --rm --user=root -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa:/home/duplicity/.ssh/id_rsa:ro -v ~/.boto:/home/duplicity/.boto:ro -v ~/.gnupg:/home/duplicity/.gnupg -v /:/mnt:ro -e PASSPHRASE=$PASSPHRASE wernight/duplicity duplicity $@'

Now you should be able to run duplicity almost as if it were installed, example:

$ PASSPHRASE=*** duplicity --progress /mnt rsync://***/some_dir
