# Restic Scripts
Purpose:
- Wrap `restic` with the ability to start/stop Docker containers
- Send updates to Loki server
## Installation
### Include in Repo
From a parent repo, add this one as a submodule:
```shell
git submodule add https://gitea.john-stream.com/john/restic-scripts
```
Then add this to the `docker-compose.yml` file of the parent.
```yaml
include:
- restic-scripts/docker-compose.yml
```
### Environment Variables
Put these in `./restic-scripts/.env`, which is on the `.gitignore` list.
| Env Variable | Description |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `BACKUP_DIR` | Directory to back up |
| `RESTIC_REPOSITORY` | Directory for the restic repository. This is usually on a mount point made from Proxmox |
| `TZ` | Set to modify the timezone shown in the scheduler |
### Key file
The password needs to be stored in `./restic-scripts/key`. Make sure it has the right (secure) permissions.
```shell
sudo chown root:root ./restic-scripts/key && sudo chmod 600 ./restic-scripts/key
```
## Loki Updates
> [!WARNING]
> This doesn't currently work on the `resticprofile` branch
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` |
