DREBS (DR EBS) is a backup and recovery solution for Amazon Web Services Elastic Block Store (AWS EBS) that allows you to make automated backups of your data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DREBS on Void Linux.
Before we can install DREBS, we need to install some required dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S git python3 python3-dev python3-pip
Next, clone the DREBS repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dojo4/drebs.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the DREBS directory by running the following command:
cd drebs
Now install DREBS by running the following command:
sudo python3 setup.py install
After the installation is complete, we need to configure DREBS. Copy the sample configuration file by running the following command:
sudo cp etc/drebs.sample.conf /etc/drebs.conf
Edit the configuration file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/drebs.conf
Replace the placeholders in the configuration file with your AWS access key ID, AWS secret access key, region, and EBS volume ID. Save your changes and exit nano.
Finally, start DREBS by running the following command:
sudo drebs.py start
You should see a message that says "DREBS started successfully". Congratulations, you've successfully installed and configured DREBS!
In this tutorial, we walked you through the steps to install and configure DREBS on Void Linux. DREBS is a great tool to automate backups of your AWS EBS volumes. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you, and you can now start using DREBS to manage your backups.
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!
