Is it possible bitbucket backup on docker execution environment?

ujkimbitbucket

Hello!

I'm working on docker bitbucket recent version and docker postgres recent version.

I want to backup bitbucket repository automatically.

In this situation, I got the Atlassian manual page related to this issue. (Bitbucket-Backup)

Backup Script need to set on information related to environment.

But.. Because of working on postgresql's docker, POSTGRES_HOST information is useless.

Independently, postgresql's docker is possible pg_dump(table what I want to insert).

In this situation, I want to know how to set the auto backup configuration.

Can I have some information about this issue?

Have a nice day!

Hi @ujkimbitbucket,

When running Bitbucket Server in Docker, you can still use the DIY option but there will likely need some adjustments to be made.

High level, what is required is the following:

- Stop Bitbucket or put it in maintenance mode / lock it

- create a backup of the database

- create a backup of the home directory

The backup of the database can be performed using the proprietary tools (e.g. pg_dump). If the database is in Docker, you may want to refer to the database documentation for details.

For the backup of the filesystem instead, the Bitbucket data should be available on volume mounted on the host and the backup/copy can then be taken directly from the host.

Cheers,

Thank you for request!

Thanks for information.

I have a question about your contents.

I was set on environment bitbucket docker with adding the volume option.

but bitbucket volumn path is not exist related to bitbucket files, bitbucket is successfully working on now. I use the bitbucket docker(https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/docker-atlassian-bitbucket-server)

docker run command is below.

--env<span>&nbsp;</span>'JVM_MAXIMUM_MEMORY=1G' \<br>--publish<span>&nbsp;7990</span>:7990 \<br>--publish<span>&nbsp;</span>7999:7999 \<br>--volume /docker/bitbucket:/var/atlassian/bitbucket \&nbsp;<br>--link postgresql:bitbucket \atlassian/bitbucket-server:latestdocker run --name bitbucket -itd --restart always \<br>

Can I get some information about this situation?

Hi @ujkimbitbucket,

If I'm reading correctly your reply, the following folder on the host does not contain any Bitbucket Server data:

<span>/docker/bitbucket</span>

That seems reasonable considering that the mapping is expected to be set in the following way:

-v /data/bitbucket:/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket

This is because the /var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket is the default home directory for Bitbucket Server.

Is this the home directory also in this installation?

If that's the case, I would recommend doing this:

- copy the home directory outside of the Docker container (not in /docker/bitbucket)

- stop the container

- move the home directory to the expected directory on the host

- start a new container with the expected volume mapping

Once this is all in place, the backup can be done from the host.

What do you think?

@Caterina Curti! Thank you for your reply!

I resolved this problem thanks to your advise.

The cause was invalid bitbucket base home directory with docker running option.

Now logging file successfully saving in log directory.

Thank you ^^
