Running Docker with flags

[Amiyumi23]

Hello everyone,

I have recently come across Bacularis and, after reading the documentation, I couldn't find information about the flags to use when running the Docker container. I would like to run the container in the following way:

docker run -d \
  --name bacularis \
  --restart always \
  -p 9097:9097 \ # port for the web interface
  -p ХХХХ:ХХХХ \ # other important ports
  -p ХХХХ:ХХХХ \ # other important ports
  -v /mnt/bacularis/web:/xxx/xxx/xxx \
  -v /mnt/bacularis/backup:/xxx/xxx/xxx \
  -v /mnt/bacularis/db:/xxx/xxx/xxx \
  -v /mnt/bacularis/xxx:/xxx/xxx/xxx \ # other important configuration folders
  -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root \
  -e MYSQL_DATABASE=bacularis \
  -e MYSQL_USER=bacula \
  -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=bacula \
  bacularis/bacularis-standalone:latest

My ultimate goal is to be able to quickly transfer all files to another computer while preserving all configurations and settings. To achieve this, I want all important data (such as configuration files, databases, and backups) to be stored in the /mnt/bacularis/ directory. This way, on a new computer, I can simply run the container with the same parameters, and all settings will be retained.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this. Thank you in advance for your assistance and support!

Hello @Amiyumi23

Thanks for your question.

Bacularis Docker container images are configurable on a basic level. I mean that bind mounts and port setting can be done, however it needs to be done self. The only not supported function for now is passing environment variables with default users, passwords...etc.

If you would like to set it up self, I think that this topic on the old Bacularis User Group may be helpful:

https://groups.google.com/g/bacularis/c/25px0V044KE/m/AP3UdnxLAwAJ

I know a good Docker project that provides highly configurable Bacularis Docker images with environment variables. It is leaded by Johan ( @johann8 ). You can find it here:

https://github.com/johann8/bacularis-alpine

I hope it will be helpful.

Best regards,
