Velero

Learn how to configure Velero for use with Filebase.

What is Velero?
Velero is an open-source backup and disaster recovery command line tool for Kubernetes clusters and their volume data.
Read below to learn how to use Velero with Filebase.
Prerequisites:
​Download Velero.
Have a Kubernetes cluster installed and running in your local environment.
​Sign up for a free Filebase account. 
Have your Filebase Access and Secret Keys. Learn how to view your access keys here.
Create a Filebase Bucket. Learn how to create a bucket here.
This guide was tested and written using Ubuntu 20.04.
1. Create a velero_credentials file in your Velero download directory. In the file, enter the following information:
[default]
aws_access_key_id = filebase-access-key
aws_secret_access_key = filebase-secret-key
Replace the following values to reflect your configuration:
aws_access_key_id: Filebase Access Key
aws_secret_access_key: Filebase Secret Key
2. Install Velero with the following command:
velero install \ 
--provider aws \
--bucket filebase-sample-bucket \
--secret-file /path/to/velero-credentials \
--use-volume-snapshots=false \
--plugins velero/velero-plugin-for-aws:v1.4.0 \
--backup-location-config region=us-east-1,s3ForcePathStyle="true", s3Url=s3.filebase.com
Replace the following values to reflect your configuration:
bucket: Your Filebase Bucket Name
secret-file: Path to your velero-credentials file.
Velero is installed in the velero namespace by default. Please see the Velero documentation here for installing in different namespaces. 
3. Configure a backup schedule.
This example creates a daily backup. Replace ‘Schedule Name’ with your preferred value.
velero schedule create --schedule "0 7 * * *"
4. Restore from a backup.
Replace ‘Schedule Name’ with the name you gave your schedule when you created it and ‘Timestamp’ with the time stamp of the backup.
velero restore create --from-backup <SCHEDULE_NAME>-<TIMESTAMP>
