BorgBackup with borgmatic Client

Sets up borgmatic to make per-application backups with optional encryption and compression. Currently supports Debian/Ubuntu and CentOS/Red Hat.

Mainly based of https://github.com/borgbase/ansible-role-borgbackup, but this role is a little more flexible and doesn't support borgbase.

Requirements

The respositories parent directory from borgmatic_configs need to exist, or this role will fail.

Role Variables

• borgmatic_init_encryption: The encryption algorithm to use see https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/#initialization by default it is set no none borgmatic_timer: The borgmatic.timer's OnCalendar value. borgmatic_configs: A dict with the contents of borgmatic per application configuration file. This is copied verbatim to the borgmatic config folder. This role is set for per-application setup (https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/make-per-application-backups/) See https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/reference/configuration/ for a complete list of available configuration.

Dependencies

This role requires geerlingguy.repo-epel to be installed — it will called appropriately when needed.
