I managed to get Kopia running via docker (the official one). However, in the template there are no options to mount shares or folders so that I can backup those onto a second Unraid server. Does anyone know the docker variables to mount shares?

 

Edit: Found the solution myself. Went into the docker configuration and added a path, e.g. to backup comics:

 

Name: ComicsRoot

Container Path: /shares/ComicsRoot

Host Path: /mnt/user/Comics

 

This allows the Kopia docker to access the local share in Unraid.

any luck with this? was looking into backing up one unraid server share into another and was liking what I was seeing with kopia but could not get the container to run as expected.

I know, old topic. But I'm in the same situation.
I set up the docker, can also configure a remote repository. But after restarting the docker, it wont start again.

If I delete the repository file, I can start it up again.

Plan is to use Kopia on unraid to backup to antoher Kopia server.

server start --insecure --address 0.0.0.0:51515 --server-username=XXX --server-password=XXX

The instructions with htpasswd is outdated. Kopia doesn't use the htpasswd file anymore. I used the above "post arguments" (under advanced view) to get Kopia to work. Replace XXX with your chosen username and password. Repo username and password can be same or different. References:
