Image: lobaro/restic-backup-docker:latest I do this, because the compose files themselves can be easily backed up. Just create a folder named restic in your home folder and create a docker-compose.yml with your configuration inside. If it is not available for your architecture you might need to build it yourself first. To create the docker container running restic we'll be using the lobaro/restic-backup-docker:latest image. This will create a configuration in a the docker shared folder that can be accessed by the containers. Normally this will be JottaĬhoose a number from below, or type in an existing value

for accessing files uploaded using the official Jottacloud client? ** See help for jottacloud backend at: **ĭo you want to use a non standard device/mountpoint e.g. Press Enter for the default ("").Ĭhoose a number from below, or type in your own value Choose the Jotta device and Archive mountpoint: No remotes found - make a new oneĮnter a string value. Don't forget to generate your login token on the web client. For JottaCloud it will look something like the following (adapted from the rclone docs). The rclone docs have more information on every backend available. To configure rclone with your backend of choice type rclone config -config /volume1/docker/nf and go through the setup. Rclone is not needed on the NAS itself for the docker image to function properly, but we need it to setup the configuration.
SYNOLOGY NAS JOTTACLOUD INSTALL
Now install rclone locally on your NAS with the following command: curl | sudo bash Then login via SSH with the admin account and promote yourself to root with sudo su. On to the setup: If you haven't installed the docker package, do so now. I chose JottaCloud because they're based in Europe (feels better privacy wise, even though the data will be encrypted) and they're quite affordable.

First off, you need to choose which server to backup your data to. In this guide I'll setup a restic docker container on my Synology NAS with an rclone backend for monthly backups, keeping 12 versions. The disadvantage compared to borgbackup is the lack of compression. Any remote is fine and it supports rclone out of the box.
SYNOLOGY NAS JOTTACLOUD HOW TO
Ever wondered how to backup your NAS so you still have your data when the house burns down? Well, look no further! Restic is an awesome deduplicating backup program (like borgbackup) with the advantage that it doesn't need a special server.
