Backup¶
Work in Progress — Track 1 does not include an integrated backup solution. Bring your own backup until Charmarr provides one.
Smaller Blast Radius¶
Charmarr automatically configures apps through Juju relations, reducing what's lost if a config PVC is wiped:
| Restored automatically | Lost without backup |
|---|---|
| App connections (relations) | Library metadata (rescan to rebuild) |
| API keys (Juju secrets) | Watch history |
| Quality profiles (Recyclarr) | User accounts & preferences |
| Download client configs | Manual setting tweaks |
| Indexer configs |
Bring Your Own Backup¶
Options for backing up config PVCs:
- CSI volume snapshots — If your storage class supports it
- kubectl cp — Copy files from running pods
- Restic / Kopia — Direct backup to S3 or local storage
- Velero —
velero-backup-configrelation provided on all charms
