Michael Eischer 3a93e28605 CI: Remove .dockerignore to ensure reproducible builds Since go 1.18, built binaries also include VCS information such as the built commit. This information is also included in the official binaries. To ensure that the Docker container recreates the same binaries, the .git folder must also be transferred into the container. Thus, remove the .dockerignore file. The copied files must also be owned by the current user within the container, as git refuses to work otherwise.		2023-07-08 23:16:14 +02:00

Docker image

Build

From the root of this repository run:

./docker/build.sh

image name will be restic/restic:latest

Run

Set environment variable RESTIC_REPOSITORY and map volume to directories and files like:

docker run --rm --hostname my-host -ti \
    -v $HOME/.restic/passfile:/pass \
    -v $HOME/importantdirectory:/data \
    -e RESTIC_REPOSITORY=rest:https://user:pass@hostname/ \
    restic/restic -p /pass backup /data

Restic relies on the hostname for various operations. Make sure to set a static hostname using --hostname when creating a Docker container, otherwise Docker will assign a random hostname each time.
