# Restic Scripts
Purpose:
- Wrap `restic` with the ability to start/stop Docker containers
- Send updates to Loki server
## Environment Variables
Put these in a `.env` file in the directory that the backup will be run from.
| Env Variable | Description |
|---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `HOSTNAME` | Network hostname of where the backup is running. Used to tag the backups in restic |
| `BACKUP_DIR` | Directory to back up |
| `RESTIC_REPOSITORY` | Directory for the restic repository. This is usually on a mount point made from Proxmox |
| `RESTIC_PASSWORD` | Password for the restic repository |
| `LOKI_URL` | Push URL for Loki. Should include the port and end with something like `/loki/api/v1/push` |
## Loki Updates
Updates sent to Loki will have the following labels:
| Label | Description |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `host` | Hostname set by the environment variable `HOSTNAME` |
| `backup` | String representing the type of update e.g. `backup`, `prune`, `forget`, or `size` |
## Usage
```shell
python -m restic.snapshots
```
To stop docker containers before the backup and start them again afterwards, use the `--project` and `--services` flags.
```shell
python -m restic.backup --tag manual --project joplin --services app,db
```
```shell
python -m restic.prune
```
