Gitlab Backup Uploader

Script to upload Gitlab backups to Google Drive

---

Install:

Make a repository copy to the GitLab home directory.

cd /home/git
git clone https://github.com/Syonet/gitlab-backup-uploader.git

I recommend using this uploader via git clone instead of downloading, so you can benefit from automatic update scripts.

Download the Google Drive CLI. To use the version 1.5.1 (for Linux 64bits):

wget https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B3X9GlR6EmbndFBkTWllLWxEVWM -O drive
chmod a+x drive
sudo mv /home/git/drive /usr/bin/

Run Google Drive CLI and configure it with your Google Account Drive that will receive the files. When running, follow the instructions that appear on the terminal.

drive

After configuring the Google Drive CLI, create a directory in Google Drive, and get his ID. Example: if the URL of the directory on Google Drive is this:

https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/#folders/0B43Qn3ksX-mMRzl1S05mbDNIdGc

the directory ID is the part that is left after /#folders/. In other words:

0B43Qn3ksX-mMRzl1S05mbDNIdGc

With ID in hand, register it in the configuration file. How to do that?

Make a copy of the example configuration file:

cd /home/git/gitlab-backup-uploader/conf
cp upload.cfg.exemplo upload.cfg

Edit upload.cfg, and change the following items:

• The parameter GITLAB_BACKUPS with the full path of the GitLab backup directory.
• The parameter GDRIVE_DIRETORIO with the Google Drive directory ID that will receive the backup files.
• The parameter UPLOAD_COMPACTADO to decide whether the backup will be compressed prior to upload.

Then just put the upload script in crontab (com crontab -e):

# Upload the latest GitLab backup to Google Drive at 10pm.
0 22 * * * /home/git/gitlab-backup-uploader/upload.sh 1> /home/git/gitlab-backup-uploader/log/cron.log 2>&1
