Clonezilla

Backup and restore drives with clonezilla

Background

I run a set of Raspberry PIs and I do daily backups with bacula. Additionally I do a monthly complete backup of the sd-cards with clonezilla. I used to do this in a virtual machine, but for convinience I built this docker image. Now I just have to connect the sd-card reader to my server and backup the images to an nfs share. Works as well with any other drives ;)

Usage

Build container

Either use the provided compose file,

git clone https://github.com/theniwo/clonezilla
docker-compose -f clonezilla/docker-compose.yml up -d

or build your compose file yourself according to this template:

version: '2'

volumes:
  data:
  logs:

services:
  app:
    image: theniwo/clonezilla:latest
    container_name: clonezilla
    hostname: clonezilla
    mem_limit: "2G"
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - "2222:22"
    environment:
      - TERM=xterm
    volumes:
      - /dev:/dev
      - <LOCAL FOLDER OR NFS SHARE>:/home/partimag:shared
      - data:/root
      - logs:/var/log

otherwise use docker run command

docker run -d \
        --name clonezilla \
        --hostname clonezilla \
        --restart unless-stopped \
        --memory 128M \
        --privileged=true \
        -e TERM=xterm \
        -e TZ=Europe/Berlin \
        -v /dev:/dev \
        -v clonezilla_data:/root \
        -v clonezilla_logs:/var/log \
        -v <BACKUPDIR>:/home/partimag:shared \
        theniwo/clonezilla:latest

Start clonezilla

docker exec -it clonezilla clonezilla

or

ssh root@IP -p 2222

The root password is toor

If you choose device-image select skip Use existing /home/partimag when asked for the mountpoint.

NOTES
