Cooking a toucan in a container, or a RuBackup 2.0 stand

Hi all!

Backup is insurance against the loss of critical data. Regardless of the size and scope of a company, backup tools are essential so that a business can continue to function in the event of hardware failures, human error, or cyber attacks.

RuBackup is an enterprise-class system client-server solution for automated data backup and recovery.

This article will be useful to people who interact with RuBackup, solving work tasks, or are simply interested in technical innovations in the field of backup. Here is information on how to quickly and effortlessly roll out the RuBackup 2.0 demo stand.

The release date for version 2.0.49 is May 25, 2023.

For trial use, a minimal configuration of RuBackup RMS is available, consisting of a main backup server and several clients. It allows you to perform backup and restore with a total backup volume of no more than 1TB.

This article suggests the following ways to try RuBackup:

With the help of a script.
With the help of a Docker container.
Using Docker Compose.

Everyone will be able to choose the method that suits him and “touch” the new version of the RMS live.

1. Script – all in one

The database, client, server and graphical manager will be installed on one virtual machine.
Precondition: packages rubeup-common_2.0.49-1_amd64.deb,
rubackup-client_2.0.49-1_amd64.deb, rubackup-server_2.0.49-1_amd64.deb,
rubbackup-rbm_2.0.49-1_amd64.deb and this script are in the same folder.
Tested on Astra Linux 1.7.2 and Ubuntu 20.04.

2. Docker – all in one container

The same as the script, only in a container prepared for you.

https://hub.docker.com/r/rubackup/rubackup_server

docker run -d -p 10022:22 -h rubackup_server --name rubackup_server rubackup/rubackup_server:2.0.49

We go into the container via ssh, forward the graphics:

ssh -X -p 10022 user@localhost
1
rbm

3. Docker compose – server and multiple clients

Let’s raise a group of containers, the same server and several clients to it. The PostgreSQL module is included.

docker-compose.yml

version: "3"
 
services:
 
  rubackup_server:
    image: "rubackup/rubackup_server:2.0.49"
    container_name: rubackup_server
    hostname: rubackup_server
    networks:
      rb_network:
        ipv4_address: 172.18.0.10
    ports:
      - "10022:22"
    expose:
      - "22"
      - "5432"
      - "9991"
      - "9992"
      - "9993"
      - "9995"
 
  rubackup_client_1:
    image: "rubackup/rubackup_client:2.0.49"
    container_name: rubackup_client_1
    hostname: rubackup_client_1
    networks:
      - rb_network
    links:
      - rubackup_server
 
  rubackup_client_2:
    image: "rubackup/rubackup_client:2.0.49"
    container_name: rubackup_client_2
    hostname: rubackup_client_2
    networks:
      - rb_network
    links:
      - rubackup_server
 
networks:
  rb_network:
    ipam:
      driver: default
      config:
      - subnet: 172.18.0.0/24

docker-compose up -d

Or like this:

docker run -d --ip 172.17.0.2 -p 10022:22 -h rubackup_server --name rubackup_server rubackup/rubackup_server:2.0.49
docker run -d --add-host=rubackup_server:172.17.0.2 -h rubackup_client_1  --name rubackup_client_1 rubackup/rubackup_client:2.0.49
docker run -d --add-host=rubackup_server:172.17.0.2 -h rubackup_client_2  --name rubackup_client_2 rubackup/rubackup_client:2.0.49

I hope this tutorial saved you time. All the best!
