Borgbackup Viewer

This container allows to view the local borg repository in a web session. It also allows you to restore files and folders from the backup by using desktop programs in a web browser.

Notes

• After adding and starting the container, you need to visit https://ip.address.of.this.server:5801 in order to log in with the user nextcloud and the password that you can see next to the container in the AIO interface. (The web page uses a self-signed certificate, so you need to accept the warning).
• Then, you should see a terminal. There type in borg mount /mnt/borgbackup/borg /tmp/borg to mount the backup archive at /tmp/borg inside the container. Afterwards type in nautilus /tmp/borg which will show a file explorer and allows you to see all the files. You can then copy files and folders back to their initial mountpoints inside /nextcloud_aio_volumes/, /host_mounts/ and /docker_volumes/. ⚠️ Be very carefully while doing that as can break your instance!
• After you are done with the operation, click on the terminal in the background and press [CTRL]+[c] multiple times to close any open application. Then run umount /tmp/borg to unmount the mountpoint correctly.
• You can also delete specific archives by running borg list, delete a specific archive e.g. via borg delete --stats --progress "::20220223_174237-nextcloud-aio" and compact the archives via borg compact. After doing so, make sure to update the backup archives list in the AIO interface! You can do so by clicking on the Check backup integrity button or Create backup button.
• ⚠️ After you are done doing your operations, remove the container for better security again from the stack: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/tree/main/community-containers#how-to-remove-containers-from-aios-stack
• See https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/tree/main/community-containers#community-containers how to add it to the AIO stack
