A Docker container which copies automatic backups from the Unifi Dream Machine to a FTP server

👋 Hi there, I'm Andre

Data, Cloud, Azure & Azure Cosmos DB Enthusiast, Community Addict and Cloud Solution Architect @ Microsoft

🦸‍♂️ About Me

In my role as Cloud Solution Architect, I advise customers in topics all around the Microsoft Data Platform.

Since version 7.0 I am gathering experience with the SQL Server product family, where I had a focus on infrastructure topics, mission-critical systems and security. Today I concentrate on working with data in the cloud, like Modern Data Warehouse architectures and Azure Synapse Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and new scalable database systems like Azure Cosmos DB.

In my spare time I am speaking at user groups and at international conferences, teaching about cloud data services and how to use them in the best possible manner. Also, I am working on different small community and open-source projects.

unifi-udm-backup's Issues

Add container to GitHub Container Registry

During the run of the release workflow, the container image should also be released to the GitHub Container Registry in addition to Docker Hub.

Test for stability

Test the actual release of the container for stability issues or problems.

Allow to skip "protect" backup

In some cases (my case), unifi protect is not used . So, not backuped, and the folder /mnt/data_ext/unifi-os/unifi-protect/backups:/backups/protect: doesn't exist

Context

• UDM-pro
• unifi protect disabled (because use of another solution)

Possible Implementation

check if $PROTECT_MOUNT is empty

---

Because of your contributing, I doesn't open a pull request, for the moment, but here is how I update the on_boot.d/80-udm-backup-ftp.sh
https://github.com/thib3113/udm-backup-ftp/commit/e2af2c3e53d9ff3a14b8acaa987298db564238d4

I've just move some informations in vars, and checking if $SDN_MOUNT / $PROTECT_MOUNT is filled or not, and add the -v option depending .

My only concerns is : for the moment, the only problem I saw (not sure), is "what about if I empty SDN_MOUNT" ?
I'm not sure, if the -v order is important, and correspond of the dockerFile VOLUME order ... In the worst case, the protect backup will be in unifi folder

Find a better way to store the password

The FTP password is stored in the script and will be written to the cron.d-file. From a security point of view, the password should be encrypted and stored in a separate file.
