Backup and restore

:::warning Local backups are only supported for docker-compose installs. If you want to backup a Kubernetes instance locally, use an S3-compatible server such as minio :::

Backup

:::note Local backups are enabled by default, and will be run daily at 00:00 :::

Local backups can be created by running the following command in your authentik installation directory

docker-compose run --rm worker backup

This will dump the current database into the ./backups folder. By defaults, the last 10 Backups are kept.

Restore

Run this command in your authentik installation directory

docker-compose run --rm worker restore

This will prompt you to restore from your last backup. If you want to restore from a specific file, use the -i flag with the filename:

docker-compose run --rm worker restore -i default-2020-10-03-115557.psql

After you've restored the backup, it is recommended to restart all services with docker-compose restart.

S3 Configuration

Preparation

authentik expects the bucket you select to already exist. The IAM User given to authentik should have the following permissions

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObjectAcl",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl"
            ],
            "Principal": {
                "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::example-AWS-account-ID:user/example-user-name"
            },
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket-name/*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket-name"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

docker-compose

Set the following values in your .env file.

AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__S3_BACKUP__ACCESS_KEY=
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__S3_BACKUP__SECRET_KEY=
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__S3_BACKUP__BUCKET=
AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__S3_BACKUP__REGION=

If you want to backup to an S3-compatible server, like minio, use this setting:

AUTHENTIK_POSTGRESQL__S3_BACKUP__HOST=http://play.min.io

Kubernetes

Simply enable these options in your values.yaml file

# Enable Database Backups to S3
backup:
    accessKey: access-key
    secretKey: secret-key
    bucket: s3-bucket
    region: eu-central-1
    host: s3-host

Afterwards, run a helm upgrade to update the ConfigMap. Backups are done automatically as above, at 00:00 every day.
