Balena Home Assistant / Backup / How To

Project help

Related issue: I’d like to use duplicati to backup to a USB drive.

Individually, the

  • Duplicati block, and the
  • balena-storage (dynamically mount USB drives)

work as expected.

Now I’d like to “merge” the two, i.e. dynamically mount USB drives inside the duplicati service. My Dockerfile.template, below, fails with E: Unable to locate package findmnt.

Any suggestions for getting around this issue?

Dockerfile.template (straight from balana-storage except the FROM & apt-get statements):

FROM linuxserver/duplicati:latest

# Enable udev for detection of dynamically plugged devices
ENV UDEV=on
COPY udev/usb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/usb.rules

# Install dependencies (install_packages not available)
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
  findmnt util-linux grep \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN install_packages

WORKDIR /usr/src
COPY scripts scripts
RUN chmod +x scripts/*

# Change your CMD as needed (probably not needed?)
CMD [ "/bin/bash", "/usr/src/scripts/idle.sh" ]
