DREBS (DynamoDB Reliable Backup & Restore) is a free and open-source backup and restore solution for DynamoDB, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) database service. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install DREBS on Manjaro.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, we need to install the dependencies required by DREBS. To do so, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-setuptools
Next, we need to clone the DREBS repository from GitHub. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/dojo4/drebs.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command to install DREBS:
sudo python setup.py install
Before using DREBS, we need to configure it by creating a configuration file. To create a configuration file, run the following command in the terminal:
drebs configure
This command will prompt you to enter the required configuration details such as AWS access key, AWS secret key, and region.
Once DREBS is configured, we can start using it to back up and restore our DynamoDB tables. To take a backup of a DynamoDB table, run the following command:
drebs backup <table-name>
To restore a backup, run the following command:
drebs restore <table-name> <backup-name>
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured DREBS on your Manjaro system.
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!
