I couldn’t figure which is the correct locations for the scrips which can be run before / after the backup for the sasplus/duplicacy docker
I appreciate the help.
Did you mean https://hub.docker.com/r/saspus/duplicacy-web?
For the web UI, the repositories for the back jobs are located under ~/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/<n> where n is the index of the backup job. So the pre/post scripts should be placed under ~/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/<n>/.duplicacy/scripts.
Hey did you ever figure this out? I can’t figure out what directory to create a bind mount with. So far everything I have tried doesn’t work. Thanks
This response is pretty exhaustive: Script location for sasplus docker
Note, the ~/.duplicacy-web folder gchen is referring to is synlinked to /config in the container, which you are expected to map to the external docker volume
I would expect to see it in the log correct?

I added this to my docker-compose
$LMS/duplicacy/scripts:/.duplicacy-web/repositories/localhost/0/.duplicacy/scripts
If I browse to that location on the container I do see the script that I made which is just a simple hello world. Do the scripts not show in the logs?
also, my script is named pre-backup.sh and all it does is output the date to a text file. Which I cant seem to get to work.
…
Edit: One last thing. If I login to the console of the container and run the script directly it does indeed work.
Here you can see where I put the script. Is this correct? Still nothing in the logs. I have tried with and without the .sh extension as well.
The container defines the configuration variable "temporary_directory" : "/cache" in /config/settings.json; it does seem that if that is defined the folder the thing is running from is that location and therefore the you would want to place your scripts folder there.
I was finally able to make it work after a lot of hit and trial. The script needs to be in:
/mnt/user/appdata/Duplicacy/cache/localhost/1/.duplicacy/scripts
Also, the script name should be exactly ‘pre-backup’.
That is assuming:
- /config is mounted at /mnt/user/appdata
- “temporary_directory”: “/cache” in /config/settings.json
I tried using pre-backup.sh but it did not work. But then I noticed the file ‘preferences’ is an executable and do not have a file extension, so renamed my script to pre-backup and it worked
