# Velero Backup Testing Guide
|
|
|
|
This guide explains how to test your Velero backups using a temporary K3d cluster.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Ensure you have the following tools installed on your local machine:
|
|
|
|
- Docker
|
|
- kubectl
|
|
- Helm
|
|
- K3d
|
|
- Velero CLI
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. First, clone this repository to your local machine:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/backup-testing.git
|
|
cd backup-testing
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Make the scripts executable:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x test-velero-backup.sh validate-restore.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running a Backup Test
|
|
|
|
Execute the test script with appropriate parameters:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./test-velero-backup.sh \
|
|
--s3-access-key <ACCESS_KEY> \
|
|
--s3-secret-key <SECRET_KEY> \
|
|
--backup-name <BACKUP_NAME> \
|
|
--original-namespace <NAMESPACE> \
|
|
--test-namespace <NAMESPACE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
+ Create a temporary K3d cluster
|
|
+ Install Velero configured to access your MinIO backup location
|
|
+ List available backups
|
|
+ Allow you to test restoring a specific backup
|
|
|
|
To restore a specific backup, run:
|
|
|
|
## Testing Specific Applications
|
|
|
|
### Immich
|
|
|
|
For testing Immich backups:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./test-velero-backup.sh \
|
|
--s3-access-key <ACCESS_KEY> \
|
|
--s3-secret-key <SECRET_KEY> \
|
|
--backup-name immich \
|
|
--original-namespace immich \
|
|
--test-namespace immich
|
|
|
|
kubectl port-forward service/helm-immich-server -n immich 8080:2283
|
|
```
|
|
Reachable on `localhost:8080`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Testing with Volume Snapshots (not tested yet)
|
|
|
|
To test CSI volume snapshot backups:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./test-velero-backup.sh \
|
|
--s3-access-key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
|
|
--s3-secret-key YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
|
|
--original-namespace immich \
|
|
--include-volume-snapshots
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Customizing Validation (not tested yet)
|
|
|
|
You can extend the `validate-restore.sh` script to perform application-specific validation checks:
|
|
|
|
1. Edit the script to add application-specific checks
|
|
2. Run your test with the modified validation:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./test-velero-backup.sh \
|
|
--s3-access-key YOUR_ACCESS_KEY \
|
|
--s3-secret-key YOUR_SECRET_KEY \
|
|
--original-namespace immich \
|
|
--backup-name your-backup \
|
|
--custom-validation-script ./your-custom-validation.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting (not tested yet)
|
|
|
|
If you encounter issues:
|
|
|
|
1. Check the logs of the Velero pod:
|
|
```
|
|
kubectl logs -n velero deploy/velero
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Examine restore details:
|
|
```
|
|
velero restore describe RESTORE_NAME
|
|
velero restore logs RESTORE_NAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Check cluster resources:
|
|
```
|
|
kubectl get pods -A
|
|
kubectl get pvc -A
|
|
```
