amanda-client

DESCRIPTION

A container for running an amanda-client of the [Amanda](https://amanda.org] project within a containerized environment. This image is based on Debian:stable-slim.

The image contains the minimal set of tools to run amanda-client and the client software is compiled from the latest stable release available at the time of build.

The container starts an inetd daemon that listens for connections and starts the amanda-client. It is always running as the user backup. This can not be changed at runtime only by creating an image of your own.

Authentication

This container only supports authentication via SSL certificates.

The container does not create any certificates

Certificates have to be provided by mounting a volume containing the certificate and key files:

• mount the ca certificate file as /usr/local/etc/amanda/ssl/CA/crt.pem
• mount the client certificate file as /usr/local/etc/amanda/ssl/me/crt.pem
• mount the client key file as /usr/local/etc/amanda/ssl/me/private/key.pem

Amanda also requires an authorization file which amanda-servers are allowed to connect to each client.

• mount an amandahosts file as /var/backups/amandahosts

A Typical amandahosts file looks like this:

''' amanda-server-kslave-amd6401.amanda.svc.cluster.local backup noop, selfcheck, sendsize, sendbackup, amdump '''

USAGE

You have to mount all volumes which should be backupd by Amanda into the container. For kubernetes you have to run one amanda-client container per namespace and mount all PhysicalVolumeClaims for that namespace into the container.

The path to this PVC has to be used within the amanda-servers disklist.

There are no environment variables for running the client. You just mount all the required files and start the container.
