Docker image

Build

From the root of this repository run:

./docker/build.sh

image name will be restic/restic:latest

Run

Set environment variable RESTIC_REPOSITORY and map volume to directories and files like:

docker run --rm --hostname my-host -ti \
    -v $HOME/.restic/passfile:/pass \
    -v $HOME/importantdirectory:/data \
    -e RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:https://user:pass@hostname/ \
    restic/restic -p /pass backup /data

Restic relies on the hostname for various operations. Make sure to set a static hostname using --hostname when creating a Docker container, otherwise Docker will assign a random hostname each time.
