How to Install DREBS on OpenBSD

DREBS is a Docker-based backup solution that can be used to backup various platforms, databases, and servers. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install DREBS on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following requirements:

• OpenBSD installed on your system
• Docker installed on your system
• Git installed on your system
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Docker

If you have not installed Docker on your OpenBSD system, you can do so by running the following command:

sudo pkg_add docker

Start the Docker service by running:

sudo rcctl enable docker
sudo rcctl start docker

Step 2: Clone DREBS Repository

Navigate to the directory where you want to install DREBS and clone the DREBS repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/dojo4/drebs.git

This will create a new directory called drebs.

Step 3: Install DREBS

Navigate to the drebs directory and run:

sudo ./install.sh

This will install DREBS on your OpenBSD system.

Step 4: Configure DREBS

After installation, navigate to the drebs directory and edit the drebs.env file using your preferred text editor:

sudo nano drebs.env

In this file, you can configure the backup settings for the platforms, servers, and databases that you want to backup.

Save the changes to the file and exit the text editor.

Step 5: Start DREBS

To start DREBS, navigate to the drebs directory and run:

sudo ./start.sh

This will start the DREBS Docker containers and the backup process will begin.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure DREBS on OpenBSD. With DREBS, you can easily backup various platforms, databases, and servers using Docker.
