Hey, long time Borg and Vorta user but new to the unraid docker.  I've got it working well with three caveats. 

First, is there a way to get it to use my system time?  Right now it's using CEST instead of the system time.

Second, I've got it running on two unraid systems.  In the archive view one system shows size is GB and another shows it in KB.  I can't find any setting that controls this.  GB makes it much more readable.

Lastly, on the main repository tab, neither of my instances show data for repo size.  I've got other ways to get this info but it would be nice if it actually worked in Vorta.  Would be less cumbersome.  Looking at the Vorta running on my laptop though I see the same issue there so maybe it's a larger Vorta issue.

Thanks, I appreciate the work done to make this easy for the rest of us.

Vorta doesn't appear in the UnRAID appcenter search, how could I download it?

Will it show up there again?

 

I would really like Vorta because it has a graphical interface and I don't have deep computer knowledge.

 

(It was translated by ChatGPT).

Hmm, I was recommending this Vorta container to someone and they didn’t find it. I can’t either anymore, where did it go?

Can't find it under apps, maybe the template isn't being maintained anymore?

The docker image is available on the repository ghcr.io/borgbase/vorta-docker

Under what you have published the Template, I can't find this under the CA?

Haven't uploaded it yet. Life got in the way... I'll try and get to it.

@Yivey_unraid Any updates on the template? 😊 Would love to test out Vorta, if its to much work to get it in the CA, maybe you could share the template here?

Man i delayed deploying Vorta for like a full year, and now that im up an ready to do it, the image its not longer available!.

 

Ill try installing it without it, hope it works!

There is absolutely no need for a template or to install this from "apps", Unraid is perfectly capable to run any docker container.
Just go to docker, select "new container", use this repository: ghcr.io/borgbase/vorta-docker
Map TCP port 5800 for the web UI, and map some folders.

I have Vorta running on Unraid and backups are working and I can extract (restore) files.  However I cannot get the Mount option to work so that I can mount the whole archive as a folder.  I added the device /dev/fuse and --cap-add SYS_ADMIN to extra parameters.

 

This is what Im doing.  Going to the archive, selecting the Mount option and then created a restore folder in my backup share.  (mounted r/w).  

 

I get this "Mounted succesffuly" message at the bottom and the Mount option changes to unmount

 

But there are no files in the restore folder:

 

This is my docker setup:

Hi @pharpe, not sure if you still have this issue but if anyone else tries to mount it, according to the docker devs (assuming you're using the one from https://github.com/borgbase/vorta-docker), it'll only show up in the container, you can view it by "mounting" another archive and go to the same folder you mounted it to. Although in my opinion I'd rather mount and restore on a different machine.

 

In other news, since this looks like this one's abandoned and the creation of the other template didn't occur, I was able to create and deploy Vorta with docker. I'm still running some backups so I'd rather not and try to deploy a community template until it's at least stable for me.

 

However if people are still interested, I can ask for permission from the developers and create a community apps template for this.

 

Do note though, docker isn't my strength, so support on the template might be limited.

 

In the meantime though, I'll create a write-up so you guys can deploy on your own. Stay tuned. EDIT: Write-up can be found here: https://akmijares.ca/blog/vorta-on-unraid/

Hey this is just what I was looking for, however, how are you protecting the Vorta docker webui from unauthorised access? As-is anyone with the IP and port can manipulate the backups

Update, just add a variable to the docker config and you're good to go.

 

Lots of other variable on the github page.

Hopefully you've already figured this out, but I'll write the answer here for future prosperity.
When you want to mount the restore path you need to first stop the container and re-deploy it, but as privileged (default = off)



For you others:

I've said before that I'm working on getting this published in the CA. Life happened and I haven't gotten around to it. But since a while back I've been trying to get back to this and now the ball is with Squid whom manages CA. Don't know why it takes so long but I promise to update here when it's out. I believe @akmijaresalso have a template sent in too. We'll see who will be published, I'll might withdraw mine if we're both uploaded. No reason to have two templates really.

Hey,

 

I've sent a message to Squid about a month ago regarding this, no reply from him yet.

 

I guess it's just a wait and see at the moment.

Yeah I’ve PMed him in January. I thought it was something wrong with my user since I made a username change at the same time. I even started this thread because of it 

but…yeah, I’m starting to think it wasn’t any problem with my user account. Maybe CA shouldn’t be a one man show anymore, that might create some breathing room.

Finally! Vorta back in CA.


I've also created a support thread for the apps added in my repository.

 

Perfect!

 

I'll pull out my application, doesn't make sense to have another one where it pulls from the same docker repo anyway.
