Helm Backup Plugin

This is a Helm plugin which performs backup/restore of releases in a namespace to/from a file

Usage

backup releases from namespace to file

$ helm backup [flags] NAMESPACE

restore releases from file to namespace

$ helm backup [flags] NAMESPACE --restore

Flags:

      --file string               file name to use (.tgz file). If not provided - will use <namespace>.tgz
  -l, --label string              label to select tiller resources by (default "OWNER=TILLER")
  -r, --restore                   restore instead of backup
      --tiller-namespace string   namespace of Tiller (default "kube-system") 

Install

$ helm plugin install https://github.com/maorfr/helm-backup

The above will fetch the latest binary release of helm backup and install it.

Developer (From Source) Install

If you would like to handle the build yourself, instead of fetching a binary, this is how recommend doing it.

First, set up your environment:

• You need to have Go installed. Make sure to set $GOPATH
• If you don't have Dep installed, this will install it into $GOPATH/bin for you.

Clone this repo into your $GOPATH. You can use go get -d github.com/maorfr/helm-backup for that.

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/maorfr/helm-backup
$ make bootstrap build
$ SKIP_BIN_INSTALL=1 helm plugin install $GOPATH/src/github.com/maorfr/helm-backup

That last command will skip fetching the binary install and use the one you built.
