DREBS (Disaster Recovery for Elastic Block Store) is an automated disaster recovery solution for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Block Store (EBS). In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DREBS on Elementary OS Latest.
To install DREBS, you need to have Git installed on your system. If you don't have Git installed, you can install it using the following command:
sudo apt-get install git
After Git is installed, navigate to the directory where you want to install DREBS and clone the DREBS repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dojo4/drebs.git
Before you can use DREBS, you need to install its dependencies. You can install the dependencies using the following command:
cd drebs
sudo make install-deps
Next, you need to configure DREBS by creating a configuration file. You can do this by copying the example configuration file and then editing it to fit your needs:
cd config
cp drebs.yml.example drebs.yml
nano drebs.yml
In the configuration file, you need to specify your AWS credentials, the EBS volumes that you want to include in the backup, and the S3 bucket where you want to store the backups.
After you have configured DREBS, you can start it using the following command:
cd ..
drebs start
DREBS will now start creating backups of your EBS volumes and storing them in the specified S3 bucket.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured DREBS on Elementary OS Latest. Now you can rest assured that your EBS volumes are safe in the event of a disaster.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
