v1.0.0 - Initial Release

I found restic-compose-backup while looking for a simple solution to back up the volumes in my compose stacks. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned, and some things have broken over time. I have forked the project, returned it to a working state, and added some enhancements.

Huge thank you to Zetta.IO for making such an awesome tool!

Updates and Fixes

• Updated pip commands in Dockerfile because current Alpine python3 version no longer allows pip system installs
• Updated Postgres client from the Alpine edge repo because the current Alpine Postgres client package doesn't support Postgres 17
• Updated docker Python package used in rcb because original version now throws an error due to deprecated protocol handler when interacting with the docker socket
• Updated restic base image version to the current release

Enhancements

• Added --single-transaction flag to mysqldump to prevent inconsistent backups for live databases
• MariaDB environment variables updated to MARIADB_USER and MARIADB_PASSWORD from MYSQL_* to match the supported variables for the official mariadb container image
• If MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD or MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD are available, use that for backup instead of the regular user account.
• Created image build and publish workflow to automatically publish the container image on ghcr.io on updates to master or tag push / release.
• .env template file changed to .env.template and added .env to .gitignore to prevent accidental commits
• Updated README to make examples clear and concise
• Automated tests and release workflow with GitHub Actions
