In this tutorial, let’s learn how to set up Duplicati on Docker

Duplicati

  • To begin with, Duplicati is free and an open source backup tool
  • Not to mention, It supports incremental backups and data deduplication which helps to save space
  • In addition uses strong AES-256 encryption to protect your privacy
  • Further, it works with standard protocols like FTP, SSH as well as popular services like Microsoft OneDrive, AWS S3, Google Drive and many others.

Prerequisites

  • Firstly, Docker and Docker-Compose must be installed and ready to use (Refer to this post if not already installed: Docker and Docker-Compose on Ubuntu)
  • Additionally, it is a good practice to have Volume mounts of all containers in a single directory or sub directory to enable easy backup

Steps to deploy Duplicati on Docker

1. Create a folder for the project and navigate into it

mkdir -p duplicati
cd duplicati

2. Followed by this, Create a docker-compose.yaml and add in the below configuration in the file

# Create the docker-compose.yaml file
touch docker-compose.yaml

# Open the file with an editor and paste in the below contents
nano docker-compose.yaml
---
version: "2.1"
services:
  duplicati:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/duplicati
    container_name: duplicati
    environment:
      - PUID=1000 # The PUID can be set to 0 which will give root permissions to the container
      - PGID=1000  # The PGID can be set to 0 which will give root permissions to the container
      - TZ=Asia/Kolkata # Set the appropriate timezone
    volumes:
      - </path/to/appdata/config>:/config # Volume Mount to the config folder of all your docker containers
      - </path/to/backups>:/backups # If the backup needs to be stored on your machine, add a volume mount to that path here
      - </path/to/source>:/source # Volume Mount to the folder that needs to backed up
    ports:
      - 8200:8200
    restart: unless-stopped

3. Finally, Start the container with docker-compose

# Use the -d flag to run docker-compose in detached state (background)
docker-compose up -d
