Docker containers for bitwarden_rs backup to remote.

• Docker Hub
• GitHub

This tool supports backing up the following files or directories.

• db.sqlite3
• config.json
• attachments (directory)

Important: We assume you already read the bitwarden_rs documentation.

We upload the backup files to the storage system by Rclone.

Visit GitHub for more storage system tutorials. Different systems get tokens differently.

You can get the token by the following command.

docker run --rm -it \
  --mount type=volume,source=bitwardenrs-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
  ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup:latest \
  rclone config

After setting, check the configuration content by the following command.

docker run --rm -it \
  --mount type=volume,source=bitwardenrs-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
  ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup:latest \
  rclone config show

# Microsoft Onedrive Example
# [YouRemoteName]
# type = onedrive
# token = {"access_token":"access token","token_type":"token type","refresh_token":"refresh token","expiry":"expiry time"}
# drive_id = driveid
# drive_type = personal

Note that you need to set the environment variable RCLONE_REMOTE_NAME to a remote name like YouRemoteName.

Make sure that your bitwarden_rs container is named bitwardenrs otherwise you have to replace the container name in the --volumes-from section of the docker run call.

Start backup container with default settings (automatic backup at 5 minute every hour)

docker run -d \
  --restart=always \
  --name bitwardenrs_backup \
  --volumes-from=bitwardenrs \
  --mount type=volume,source=bitwardenrs-rclone-data,target=/config/ \
  -e RCLONE_REMOTE_NAME="YouRemoteName"
  ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup:latest

Download docker-compose.yml to you machine, edit environment variables and start it. You need to go to the directory where the docker-compose.yml file is saved.

# Start
docker-compose up -d

# Stop
docker-compose stop

# Restart
docker-compose restart

# Remove
docker-compose down

Important: Restore will overwrite the existing files.

You need to stop the Docker container before the restore.

Because the host's files are not accessible in the Docker container, you need to map the directory where the backup files that need to be restored are located to the docker container.

And go to the directory where your backup files are located.

If you are using automatic backups, please confirm the bitwarden_rs volume and replace the --mount source section.

docker run --rm -it \
  --mount type=volume,source=bitwardenrs-data,target=/bitwarden/data/ \
  --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd),target=/bitwarden/restore/ \
  ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup:latest restore \
  [OPTIONS]

See Options for options information.

If you didn't set the ZIP_ENABLE environment variable to TRUE when you backed up the file, you need to use this option to specify the db.sqlite3 file.

If you didn't set the ZIP_ENABLE environment variable to TRUE when you backed up the file, you need to use this option to specify the config.json file.

If you didn't set the ZIP_ENABLE environment variable to TRUE when you backed up the file, you need to use this option to specify the attachments.tar file.

If you set the ZIP_ENABLE environment variable to TRUE when you backed up the file, you need to use this option to specify the backup.zip file.

Make sure the file name in the zip file has not been changed.

THIS IS INSECURE!

If the backup.zip file has a password, you can use this option to set the password to unzip it.

If not, the password will be asked for interactively.

Note: All environment variables have default values, and you can use the docker image without setting environment variables.

Rclone remote name, you can name it yourself.

Default: BitwardenBackup

Folder for storing backup files in the storage system.

Default: /BitwardenBackup/

Schedule run backup script, based on Linux crond. You can test the rules here.

Default: 5 * * * * (run the script at 5 minute every hour)

Compress the backup file as Zip archive. When set to 'FALSE', only upload .sqlite3 files without compression.

Default: TRUE

Set your password to encrypt Zip archive. Note that the password will always be used when compressing the backup file.

Default: WHEREISMYPASSWORD?

Only keep last a few days backup files in the storage system. Set to 0 to keep all backup files.

Default: 0

You should set the available timezone name. Currently only used in mail.

Here is timezone list at wikipedia.

Default: UTC

The tool uses heirloom-mailx to send mail.

Default: FALSE

Because the configuration for sending emails is too complicated, we allow you to configure it yourself.

We will set the subject according to the usage scenario, so you should not use the -s option.

When testing, we will add the -v option to display detailed information.

# My example:

# For Zoho
-S smtp-use-starttls \
-S smtp=smtp://smtp.zoho.com:587 \
-S smtp-auth=login \
-S smtp-auth-user=<my-email-address> \
-S smtp-auth-password=<my-email-password> \
-S from=<my-email-address>

See here for more information.

Who will receive the notification email.

Send email when backup is successful.

Default: TRUE

Send email when backup fails.

Default: TRUE

You can use the following command to test the mail sending. Remember to replace your smtp variables.

docker run --rm -it -e MAIL_SMTP_VARIABLES='<your smtp variables>' ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup:latest mail <mail send to>

# Or

docker run --rm -it -e MAIL_SMTP_VARIABLES='<your smtp variables>' -e MAIL_TO='<mail send to>' ttionya/bitwardenrs-backup:latest mail
