ArangoBackup Custom Resource

The ArangoBackup Operator creates and maintains ArangoBackups in a Kubernetes cluster, given a Backup specification. This deployment specification is a CustomResource following a CustomResourceDefinition created by the operator.

Examples:

Create simple Backup

apiVersion: "backup.arangodb.com/v1alpha"
kind: "ArangoBackup"
metadata:
  name: "example-arangodb-backup"
  namespace: "arangodb"
spec:
  deployment:
    name: "my-deployment"

Action:

Create Backup on ArangoDeployment named my-deployment

Create and upload Backup

apiVersion: "backup.arangodb.com/v1alpha"
kind: "ArangoBackup"
metadata:
  name: "example-arangodb-backup"
  namespace: "arangodb"
spec:
  deployment:
    name: "my-deployment"
  upload:
    repositoryURL: "S3://test/kube-test"
    credentialsSecretName: "my-s3-rclone-credentials"

Action:

Create Backup on ArangoDeployment named my-deployment and upload it to S3://test/kube-test.

Download Backup

apiVersion: "backup.arangodb.com/v1alpha"
kind: "ArangoBackup"
metadata:
  name: "example-arangodb-backup"
  namespace: "arangodb"
spec:
  deployment:
    name: "my-deployment"
  download:
    repositoryURL: "S3://test/kube-test"
    credentialsSecretName: "my-s3-rclone-credentials"
    id: "backup-id"

Download Backup with id backup-id from S3://test/kube-test on ArangoDeployment named my-deployment

Restore

Information about restoring can be found in ArangoDeployment.

spec: Object

Spec of the ArangoBackup Custom Resource.

Required: true

Default: {}

spec.deployment: Object

ArangoDeployment specification.

Field is immutable.

Required: true

Default: {}

spec.deployment.name: String

Name of the ArangoDeployment Custom Resource within same namespace as ArangoBackup Custom Resource.

Field is immutable.

Required: true

Default: “”

spec.policyName: String

Name of the ArangoBackupPolicy which created this Custom Resource

Field is immutable.

Required: false

Default: “”

spec.options: Object

Backup options.

Field is immutable.

Required: false

Default: {}

spec.options.timeout: float

Timeout for Backup creation request in seconds.

Field is immutable.

Required: false

Default: 30

spec.options.allowInconsistent: bool

AllowInconsistent flag for Backup creation request. If this value is set to true, backup is taken even if we are not able to acquire lock.

Field is immutable.

Required: false

Default: false

spec.download: Object

Backup download settings.

Field is immutable.

Required: false

Default: {}

spec.download.repositoryURL: string

Field is immutable. Protocol needs to be defined in spec.download.credentialsSecretName if protocol is other than local.

Mode protocols can be found at rclone.org.

Format: <protocol>:/<path>

Examples:

• s3://my-bucket/test
• azure://test

Required: true

Default: “”

spec.download.credentialsSecretName: string

Field is immutable. Name of the secret used while accessing repository

Secret structure:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  token: <json token>
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: <name>
type: Opaque

JSON Token options are described on the Rclone page. We can define more than one protocols at same time in one secret.

This field is defined in json format:

{
  "<protocol>": {
    "type":"<type>",
    ...parameters
    }
}

AWS S3 example - based on Rclone S3 documentation and interactive process:

{
  "S3": {
    "type": "s3", # Choose s3 type
    "provider": "AWS", # Choose one of the providers
    "env_auth": "false", # Define credentials in next step instead of using ENV
    "access_key_id": "xxx",
    "secret_access_key": "xxx",
    "region": "eu-west-2", # Choose region
    "acl": "private", # Set permissions on newly created remote object
  }
}

and you can from now use S3://bucket/path.
