Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
Stash supports Google Cloud Storage(GCS) as backend. This tutorial will show you how to configure Restic and storage Secret for GCS backend.
Create Storage Secret
To configure storage secret for this backend, following secret keys are needed:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
RESTIC_PASSWORD | Required. Password used to encrypt snapshots by restic |
GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID | Required. Google Cloud project ID |
GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_KEY | Required. Google Cloud service account json key |
Create storage secret as below,
$ echo -n 'changeit' > RESTIC_PASSWORD
$ echo -n '<your-project-id>' > GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID
$ mv downloaded-sa-json.key > GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_KEY
$ kubectl create secret generic gcs-secret \
--from-file=./RESTIC_PASSWORD \
--from-file=./GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID \
--from-file=./GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_KEY
secret "gcs-secret" created
Verify that the secret has been created with respective keys,
$ kubectl get secret gcs-secret -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID: PHlvdXItcHJvamVjdC1pZD4=
GOOGLE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON_KEY: ewogICJ0eXBlIjogInNlcnZpY2VfYWNjb3V...9tIgp9Cg==
RESTIC_PASSWORD: Y2hhbmdlaXQ=
kind: Secret
metadata:
creationTimestamp: 2017-06-28T13:06:51Z
name: gcs-secret
namespace: default
resourceVersion: "5461"
selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/default/secrets/gcs-secret

type: Opaque
Configure Restic
Now, you have to configure Restic crd to use GCS bucket. You have to provide previously created storage secret in spec.backend.storageSecretName field.
Following parameters are available for gcs backend.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
gcs.bucket | Required. Name of Bucket. If the bucket does not exist yet, it will be created in the default location (US). It is not possible at the moment to have restic create a new bucket in a different location, so you need to create it using a different program. |
gcs.prefix | Optional. Path prefix into bucket where repository will be created. |
Below, the YAML for Restic crd configured to use GCS bucket.
apiVersion: stash.appscode.com/v1alpha1
kind: Restic
metadata:
name: gcs-restic
namespace: default
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: gcs-restic
fileGroups:
- path: /source/data
retentionPolicyName: 'keep-last-5'
backend:
gcs:
bucket: stash-qa
prefix: demo
storageSecretName: gcs-secret
schedule: '@every 1m'
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /source/data
name: source-data
retentionPolicies:
- name: 'keep-last-5'
keepLast: 5
prune: true
Now, create the Restic we have configured above for gcs backend,
$ kubectl apply -f ./docs/examples/backends/gcs/gcs-restic.yaml
restic "gcs-restic" created
