Overview

Features

THIS CONTAINER IS HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED FOR MY PERSONAL USE! But you are free to use this as you wish.

Core-Features: This container will provide you with a way to review the logs that are generated by the SFTP-Backup software. It will create a simple webserver that shows a list of all logs in your log folder and prints them out nicely formatted. It also sends Telegram notifications with a bot you created to a user you can define when a backup is created and finished.

Specs:

• Docker base image: Alpine Linux
• Very lightweight (<10mb compressed docker image)

Requirements, Installation and Setup

This project is the base of of Docker container. You can pull the image from DockerHub and GitHub Container Repository, but also build it locally.

Requirements:

• Docker installed on your host machine. See https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ for instructions.

The container is build via GitHub Actions and automatically pushed to the repositories (updating the :latest tag and creating a semver tag like :1.0.1). If you use the latest version (which is the default when pulling with no :tag) you can install updates just by pulling the image and recreating the container.

To run the container, you can use this example command:

docker run -p 81:80 -v /path/to/logs/:/var/www/html/logs -e telegram_bot_token=ABCD1234 -e telegram_chat_id=123412 butti/sftp-backup-logs
