# GoDump
GoDump is a lightweight, standalone MariaDB backup application written in Go. It manages multiple MariaDB instances concurrently, automatically discovers databases, runs scheduled backups, enforces retention policies, and presents a sleek, embedded web UI to manage operations.
## Features
- **Multi-Instance Support**: Manage multiple MariaDB servers independently.
- **Auto-Discovery**: Automatically discovers all non-system databases (`information_schema`, `performance_schema`, `mysql`, `sys` are ignored) before backing up.
- **Isolated Backups**: Each database is backed up via `mysqldump` in a dedicated subprocess, compressed instantly with `gzip`, and stored independently. Failure of one database does not disrupt others.
- **Retention Policies**: Configurable retention period (in days) per instance. Old backups are automatically groomed after every run.
- **Embedded Web UI**: Single-page modern interface served directly from the Go binary. No external CDN dependencies, fully functional offline. View statuses, trigger manual backups, browse backup files, and read real-time logs.
- **Optional Authentication**: Secure your dashboard and API with a simple, cookie-based session login.
- **Notifications**: Receive instant alerts when backup jobs complete via HTML Emails (SMTP) or JSON Webhooks (perfect for Ntfy, Gotify, Discord, Slack, Zapier, etc.).
- **Cron Scheduling**: Uses standard cron expressions to schedule automated jobs.
## Requirements
The machine running GoDump must have the following installed in its system PATH:
- `mysqldump`
- `gzip`
## Building from Source
Ensure you have Go 1.20+ installed.
```bash
git clone <repository_url>
cd godump
go mod tidy
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o godump
```
## Configuration
GoDump uses a YAML configuration file. By default, it looks for `/etc/godump/config.yaml`, but you can specify a custom path using the `--config` flag.
### Example `config.yaml`
```yaml
server:
port: 8080
auth:
enabled: true
username: admin
password: password
notifications:
events:
on_success: false
on_failure: true
email:
enabled: true
# You can override events at the channel level
# events:
# on_success: false
# on_failure: true
host: smtp.example.com
port: 587
username: myuser
password: mypassword
from: godump@example.com
to: you@example.com
webhooks:
- enabled: true
url: https://hook.example.com/success
events:
on_success: true
on_failure: false
- enabled: true
url: https://hook.example.com/failure
events:
on_success: false
on_failure: true
headers:
Authorization: "Bearer your_token_here"
logging:
file: ""
instances:
- name: primary
host: 192.168.1.10
port: 3306
user: backup
password: secret
backup_dir: /backups/primary
retention_days: 14
schedule: "0 2 * * *"
- name: secondary
host: 192.168.1.20
port: 3306
user: backup
password: secret
backup_dir: /backups/secondary
retention_days: 7
schedule: "0 3 * * *"
```
- `server.port`: The HTTP port for the web UI.
- `auth`: Optional authentication for the Web UI. `enabled` to turn it on, along with `username` and `password`.
- `notifications`: Optional post-run notifications.
- `events`: Control what triggers notifications globally (`on_success`, `on_failure`).
- `email`: SMTP details for sending HTML-formatted email alerts. Can have its own `events` block.
- `webhooks`: An array of webhook endpoints. Each can have its own `events` block to fire only on specific outcomes.
- `logging.file`: The path where log files should be written.
- `instances`: An array of MariaDB instances. Each requires its own name, connection details, backup directory, retention configuration (in days), and cron `schedule`.
> **Note:** Make sure the user specified in the configuration has `SELECT`, `LOCK TABLES`, `SHOW VIEW`, and `TRIGGER` permissions to properly perform `mysqldump` operations across all databases.
## Usage
1. Create a `config.yaml` using the template above.
2. Run the application:
```bash
./godump --config /path/to/your/config.yaml
```
3. Open a web browser and navigate to `http://<your_server_ip>:<configured_port>`.
From the UI, you can:
- See the overall status of all configured instances.
- Observe discovered databases.
- Click **Run All Now** to manually trigger backups across all servers at once, or use the **Run Now** button on individual cards for targeted runs.
- Monitor real-time progress via the auto-refreshing log console at the bottom of the page.
- Review your backup inventory grouped by instance and database.
