Documentation for enabling/configuring backups

[cmseal]

Would it be possible to add to the documentation examples for enabling/configuring backups?

Thanks! :)

Yeah, now that Gitlab has more functionality built into the backup command, we should probably document exactly what the cron support we have does, and does not do.

in particular, i have found it does not backup the configuration which seems.... problematic, at best. we do this instead:

  file { '/usr/local/sbin/tpo-gitlab-backup':
    mode    => '0555',
    content => @(EOF),
      #!/bin/sh
      set -e
      
      umask 0077
      
      /usr/bin/gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create CRON=1
      
      NOW=$(date +"%Y%m%dT%H%M")
      SNAPSHOT="/srv/gitlab-backup/config_backup-$NOW.tar.gz"
      tar -C /var/opt/gitlab -czf "$SNAPSHOT" gitlab-rails/etc/
      
      find /srv/gitlab-backup/config_backup* -mtime +1 -delete;
      | EOF
  }
