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
