incognitum

Features

  • One touch, three minute install
  • Set-it-and-forget-it backups will automatically run a backup of all your sites every night and email you in case of failure
  • Works with both Docker / Non-Docker installation types [not yet implemented / work in progress]
  • Stores backups both locally and remotely [on S3]
  • Encrypts all remote backups with a 42 character passphrase
  • Requires no configuration inside Mastodon and/or Docker, everything happens on the filesystem level completely unbeknownst to the application / containers themselves.
  • Performs a test restore before every S3 backup to ensure remote backup integrity and passphrase match
  • Allows you to restore your backup with one single command and a maximum of three minutes of your time even from a blank machine you've never set up before [not yet implemented / work in progress]
  • Perfectly restores every aspect of the Mastodon instance you're hosting, from your database, to all of your files
  • Outputs clean and colorful logs and stores them automatically inside its own log directory
