consul-backdown

consul-backdown

Pipe-able backup tool for Consul's K/V.

HOW DO I USE IT?

First, install it with:

go get github.com/ghostbar/consul-backdown

Or just go to the releases page and download the binary for your system.

Then, just run it like:

$GOPATH/bin/consul-backdown backup > my-kv-backup.txt

More help can be found on $GOPATH/bin/consul-backdown --help.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO CONSUL-BACKUP?

There's another older tool, kailunshi/consul-backup that may work pretty well for you. Go and try it. This tool is actually based on that.

So why build this?:

• The code is not very well written, not even correctly formatted with gofmt.
• It's not pipe-able.
• It's not fully configurable.
• Author is not responsive to pull-requests (reason why I did not sent my improvements over there in the first time but instead wrote this).
• No binary releases.
