Add the admin account as `deuxfleurs` to your `~/.mc/config` file
You need to choose some names/identifiers:
```bash
export ENDPOINT="https://s3.garage.tld"
export SERVICE_NAME="example"
export BUCKET_NAME="backups-${SERVICE_NAME}"
export NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID="key-${SERVICE_NAME}"
export NEW_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
export POLICY_NAME="policy-$BUCKET_NAME"
```
Create a new bucket:
```bash
mc mb deuxfleurs/$BUCKET_NAME
```
Create a new user:
```bash
mc admin user add deuxfleurs $NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID $NEW_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
```
Add this new user to your `~/.mc/config.json`, run this command before to generate the snippet to copy/paste:
```
cat > /dev/stdout <<EOF
"$NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID": {
"url": "$ENDPOINT",
"accessKey": "$NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
"secretKey": "$NEW_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY",
"api": "S3v4",
"path": "auto"
},
EOF
```
---
Create a policy for this bucket and save it as json:
```bash
cat > /tmp/policy.json <<EOF
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:ListBucket"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::${BUCKET_NAME}"
]
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:*"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::${BUCKET_NAME}/*"
]
}
]
}
EOF
```
Register it:
```bash
mc admin policy add deuxfleurs $POLICY_NAME /tmp/policy.json
```
Set it to your user:
```bash
mc admin policy set deuxfleurs $POLICY_NAME user=${NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
```
Now it should display *only* your new bucket when running:
```bash
mc ls $NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID
```
---
Now we need to initialize the repository with restic.
```bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$NEW_ACCESS_KEY_ID
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$NEW_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:$ENDPOINT/$BUCKET_NAME"
export RESTIC_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
```
Then init the repo for restic from your machine:
```
restic init
```
*I am using restic version `restic 0.12.1 compiled with go1.16.9 on linux/amd64`*
See your snapshots with:
```
restic snapshots
```
Check also these useful commands:
```
restic ls
restic diff
restic help
```

Add the secrets to Consul, near your service secrets.
The idea is that the backuping service is a component of the global running service.
You must run in `app/<name>/secrets/<subpath>`:
```bash
echo "USER Backup AWS access key ID" > backup_aws_access_key_id
echo "USER Backup AWS secret access key" > backup_aws_secret_access_key
echo "USER Restic repository, eg. s3:https://s3.garage.tld" > backup_restic_repository
echo "USER Restic password to encrypt backups" > backup_restic_password
```
Then run secretmgr:
```bash
# Spawning a nix shell is an easy way to get all the dependencies you need
nix-shell
# Check that secretmgr works for you
python3 secretmgr.py check <name>
# Now interactively feed the secrets
python3 secretmgr.py gen <name>
```
---
Now we need a service that runs:
```
restic backup .
```
And also that garbage collect snapshots.
I propose:
```
restic forget --prune --keep-within 1m1d --keep-within-weekly 3m --keep-within-monthly 1y
```
