DREBS, which stands for "Disaster Recovery for Elastic Block Store," is a tool that can create EBS snapshots and backup Amazon Web Service instances. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of DREBS on Windows 10 using Git Bash.
Open Git Bash by searching for it in the Start menu or by pressing Win + X and selecting "Git Bash."
Change to the directory where you want to install DREBS by running the following command:
cd /path/to/installation/directory
Clone the DREBS repository from Github by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dojo4/drebs.git
Once the repository is cloned, change to the drebs directory by running the following command:
cd drebs
Next, DREBS requires python and pip. If you have not installed them yet, please follow this guide to install Python and PIP.
After Python and PIP are installed, create a virtual environment for DREBS to isolate its dependencies. In the drebs directory, run the following command:
python -m virtualenv venv
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source venv/Scripts/activate
Install the Python dependencies for DREBS by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy the config.yml.example file to config.yml by running the following command:
cp config.yml.example config.yml
Open the config.yml file in a text editor and enter the necessary information about your AWS account, such as access key, secret access key, and region.
Finally, test the installation by running the following command:
python drebs.py --version
The console should display the version number of DREBS if the installation was successful.
You have successfully installed DREBS on your Windows 10 computer. You can now use DREBS to create EBS backups or snapshots for your Amazon Web Service environment.
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!
