mc-restic-compose-backup container not usable

[Luctastic]

Hello :)
Thanks for this awesome template, but I got some problems regarding your "mc-restic-compose-backup" image in combination with this template.

Pastebin #1
Pastebin #2

1. Cloned template and started via ./dc.sh up -d
2. Attached to backup-container via ./backup.sh attach
3. rcb status

First problem (see pastebin #1):

• Port var is null in python
• Tries to get it from container with tag restic-compose-backup.minecraft: true
• Workaround: Passing environment var RCON_PORT into minecraft container

environment:
      ...
      # used to pass port to backup
      RCON_PORT: ${RCON_PORT}

---

Second problem (see pastebin #1):

• Can't connect to database
• Hardcoded root username in mc-restic-compose-backup image
• Searches for MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD env var in database container
• Workaround: Passing environment var MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD into database container (other problems occur now, due to the MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD env set)

---

Third problem: (after temp-fixing first and second problem) (see pastebin #2)

• Can't set CRON_SCHEDULE environment var
  • If set, I get the error "exit status 2 from user root source /env.sh && rcb backup > /proc/1/fd/1"
  • Running source /env.sh inside the backup container, returns the following error message
    • "sh: export: line 20: entrypoint.sh: bad variable name"
  • In line 20 is my environment var CRON_SCHEDULE
• Workaround: Removing CRON_SCHEDULE from backup.env - default cronjob gets executed now, but I can't adjust the timings

Hey @Luctastic

did you execute the init.sh script after cloning the template? It sounds like a bunch of environment variables are missing which are set during the init phase.

[Luctastic]

Yeah sorry, I did execute the init script, forgot to mention that (double checked now)

1. Cloned template
2. sudo ./init.sh

Empty plugin URL
(Bungeecord) Port [25565]:
Query Port [25566]:
RAM for the Server [4G]:
base url of this environment, e.g.: test.your-server.net? [your-server.net]: dev.testing.eu
environment of this server (e.g.: test, prod)? [test]
Entered restic password

configuration is now all done!

3. sudo ./dc.sh up -d
4. Waited for successful start...
5. Attached to backup-container via sudo ./backup.sh attach
6. rcb status
