Hello, Im trying to host a backup solution on my k8s cluster for my linux and windows clients. I would like it to use https so its easy to manage ingress. Does someone have any recommendations? thanks

EDIT: a requirement i forgot is that it is meant for multiple users but idk if thats possible

Restic. You just need a s3-compatible object store in k8s to make it work. All else is handled by the client. That’s what I used (not with k8s), with resticprofile.

I also heard Borg is a great alternative, but never try personally, nor how it works. Both are CLI only I believe.

I second restic and i use it with wasabi. Haven’t touched it in years. Do a fire still once a year and it’s worked perfectly. I even basically cloned my proxmox setup the other day.

Restic has a neat web GUI called Backrest

Any S3-compatible object storage solution would do, plus it’s immensely used in enterprise so a lot of software supports backing up to S3 objects. Operates entirely over HTTPS.

Garage is a self hostable s3 compatible bucket

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the Web
HTTPS HTTP over SSL
SSH Secure Shell for remote terminal access
SSL Secure Sockets Layer, for transparent encryption
k8s Kubernetes container management package

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 9 acronyms.

Have you looked at Duplicati? I use it and find it dead simple and reliable (I did a full recovery from a total data loss last year).

Borg

It’s easy to use, there are CLI-wrapper and GUIs, it’s crossplattform, deduplicates, compresses, encrypt and based on rsync. I use it for alle backups between machines and networks.

And borgmatic makes retention rules with automatic runs super easy. It basically a wrapper that runs borg on the client side.

I second borg, been using it for years and it’s never let me down. Granted, I haven’t actually had to do disaster recovery so far, but my tests have been positive lol

Borg is great and I use it myself but afaik there is no Windows version and there is only remote support over SSH, not HTTPS.

As a workaround for Windows you can sync files to a Linux machine with SyncThing for example, and use Borg there.
