Description

Would it be possibly to add an optional installation for valult-warden backup to the vaultwarden script?
https://github.com/Bruceforce/vaultwarden-backup

I'd basically like to move this docker compose stack into a lxc:

services:
  vaultwarden:
    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
    container_name: vaultwarden
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./vw-data:/data
    environment:
      - WEBSOCKET_ENABLED=true
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

  vaultwarden-backup:
    image: bruceforce/vaultwarden-backup:latest
    container_name: vaultwarden-backup
    hostname: vaultwarden-backup
    restart: unless-stopped
    init: true
    depends_on:
      - vaultwarden
    volumes:
      - ./vw-data:/data/
      - ./backup:/backup/
    environment:
      - TIMESTAMP=true
      - DELETE_AFTER=7
      - UID=1000
      - GID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Zagreb
      - CRON_TIME=50 3 * * *

I also found another project which does the same thing:
https://github.com/ttionya/vaultwarden-backup

It seems more recently maintained, but I haven't used it before, so I don't know the details. But I'm fine with either one, as long as it makes backups

Due Diligence

• I have searched existing scripts and found no duplicates.
• I have searched existing discussions and found no duplicate requests.

This is Just an rclone of the Database, so for what an Backup Tool? I use vaultwarden since years, and would never feel the need to do anything like that 😅

[zolakt]

It's not rclone, it's just a convenience script that does the backup, handles encryption, adds a cron, and does retention cleanup. Granted. probably it makes more sense in docker than in lxc, but it's still more convenient than setting up backups manually.

[MickLesk]

hm but in general, its better to dont do this at the same lxc :D

@MickLesk How do you handle your backups within a lxc?

I have Vaultwarden run in a docker container for years with no significant issues however backups should still be regularly done. I am looking to migrate to Proxmox but would want to have automated backups and notifications if they are fail.

Ive an cron that Backup the whole snapshot every 3 days into an other HDD, with the LXC conf. If something Break, or Proxmox dies, i can import all again
