WordPress Server Setup, Part III

So far, using restic + rclone is the best solution for backing up data to cloud store. The free account of MegaIO got 30Gb capacity. Since the Wordpress web site is not going to have too much data, MegaIO is quite suitable.

overall setup

Create MegaIO account
Setup rclone for MegaIO
Create restic repository for rclone
Config cronjob for daily backup
Config alias for restic with preset parameter

backup script

#!/bin/bash

DROOT=/home/clam/docker/wordpress
RPATH='rclone:megaio:restic'
TAG='wordpress-taiyip'

cd $DROOT
# docker compose down
docker compose stop
restic -r $RPATH backup -p ~/.restic  --tag $TAG $DROOT
# docker compose up -d
docker compose start

restic -r $RPATH -p ~/.restic  forget -l 50
mused=`mega-df -h | awk 'NR==5 {print $3  "GB/"$7 "GB"}'`

timenow=`date +"%y/%m/%d %H:%M"`

curl -H "Title: CLAMNERD: TaiYip Backup Done ✅" \
    -d "MegaIO ($mused) | $timenow" \
    -u :[secret key] \
    ntfy.7zero8.win/ResticBackup

###

DROOT=/home/clam/docker/wordpress.alva
RPATH='rclone:pcloud:restic'
TAG='wordpress-alva'

cd $DROOT
# docker compose down
docker compose stop
restic -r $RPATH backup -p ~/.restic  --tag $TAG $DROOT
# docker compose up -d
docker compose start

restic -r $RPATH -p ~/.restic  forget -l 30 
# pused=`rclone size pcloud:restic  | tail -1 | cut -d" " -f 3,4`
pused=`restic -r $RPATH -p ~/.restic stats  | awk 'END {print $3,$4}'`


timenow=`date +"%y/%m/%d %H:%M"`

curl -H "Title: CLAMNERD: Alva Backup Done ✅" \
    -d "Pcloud($pused) | $timenow" \
    -u :[secret key] \
    ntfy.7zero8.win/ResticBackup

cronjob (under root)

30 4 * * * /root/scripts/restic-docker-split.sh 2>&1

restic alias

alias mrestic='restic -r rclone:megaio:restic -p ~/.restic --option=rclone.timeout=10m '
alias prestic='restic -r rclone:pcloud:restic -p ~/.restic --option=rclone.timeout=10m '

example of using mrestic

mrestic snapshots   # check backup snapshot
mrestic forget -l 10  # delete and keep last 10 backup
mrestic prune    # repack and modifiy index for deleted files
mrestic restore b129d626 --target /root/restore # restore b129d626 to /root/restore
