Docker: How to setup server with previous installation?

Got it running. Steps I had to do:

  • translate settings in docker-compose.yml from https://github.com/uroni/urbackup-server-docker to portainer. Most of the entries can be found easily in portainer’s “Add container” dialogue. In advanced container settings
    – “Command & logging”: leave everything on default (do not set user)
    – “Volumes”: /backups and /var/urbackup bind to paths with existing folders on host
    – “Network”: set network to host
    – “Env”: set PUID and PGID to UID and GID from host (see /etc/passwd), set TZ to timezone, e.g. Europe/Berlin
    – “Restart Policy”: Unless stopped
    – “Capabilities”: switch on SYS_ADMIN
  • Click “Deploy the container” and wait, as the old settings will be imported and reindexing takes time. Check Log under Containers Quick actions
  • Open urbackup frontend on …:55414, switch to settings and change Backup storage path to /backups
    These steps did it in my case.
