Restore Backup Playbook

This Playbook is designed to restore backups that were createdby our backup playbook.

Using the Playooks

Running of this playbook is no different to any other. However there are a few requirements that must be met first:

The user running the playbook must be a member of the backup group on the remote host.
Postgres actions require psql and pg_config to be installed and python modules psycopg2.

Tip

install with apt install postgresql-client-<version> postgresql-common on a Debian system and pip install psycopg2-binary for the python modules
MariaDB / MySQL actions require mysql, mariadb-client-<version> to be installed and python modules PyMySQL

Tip

mysql can be installed with apt install mariadb-client-core-<version> mariadb-client-<version> on a Debian system and pip install PyMySQL for the python modules.
Kubernetes containers that are having their files backed-up, require tar to be instlled in the contianer.

Tip

If tar is not installed within the container, add a sidecar container that contains tar. debian:bookworm-slim is one such container and use bash -c sleep 9999999999999999999 as the container command so it doesn't stop.

Restoration tasks

Just like out backup playbook, this playbook is broken down into sub-tasks, that is by Application. This covers application type Kubernetes Container.
