Performs local backup between our servers. This wraps bb8 with Montagu specific bits. Essentially this is just the bb8 repo with a config file at the top level.

Setup

Steps taken to set up the annex

  1. Clone this repo anywhere
git clone https://github.com/vimc/montagu-bb8 --recursive
  1. Run ./bb8/setup_starport as root, passing in the directory location of the starport and the user to run bb8 as
sudo ./bb8/setup_starport /mnt/data/starport montagu

That's it. Note that this will create a symlink ~montagu/starport to the actual starport at /mnt/data/starport

Support

Steps taken to set up Support:

  1. As the montagu user, clone this repository into the montagu user home directory
git clone https://github.com/vimc/montagu-bb8 --recursive
  1. Set up the global bb8 link with
sudo ./montagu-bb8/bb8/bb8_link_write

(this is the only step that requires root privileges)

  1. To use, from the montagu-bb8 directory run
./bb8/setup config.json teamcity vault registry

See https://github.com/vimc/bb8#setup-leaf-machine for more explanation. If prompted, please configure scheduling as directed.

  1. To upgrade, pull the latest changes and repeat the setup step.

Production

bb8 is configured by the deploy task. On initial setup, you will need to run, as the montagu user:

sudo ~/montagu/montagu-bb8/bb8/bb8_link_write

to install the link to the bb8 script globally (you will be prompted if it is not configured correctly).

Annex

On the annex, after successfully setting up bb8 and barman, run

./montagu-bb8/scripts/schedule-barman-montagu-nightly

which will configure a nightly job that will create a restorable copy of the montagu database and put it via bb8 into the starport.

To upgrade bb8, as the montagu user:

  1. Navigate to ~/montagu-bb8 and pull the latest changes.

  2. From the montagu-bb8 directory, configure bb8 by running:

./bb8/setup config.json barman_to_starport
