Backup Configuration

Backup settings

Use these settings to choose where backup files are written and how Blnk connects to S3 or another S3-compatible service.

BLNK_BACKUP_DIR=
BLNK_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
BLNK_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
BLNK_S3_ENDPOINT=
BLNK_S3_BUCKET_NAME=
BLNK_S3_REGION=

{
  "backup_dir": "",
  "aws_access_key_id": "",
  "aws_secret_access_key": "",
  "s3_endpoint": "",
  "s3_bucket_name": "",
  "s3_region": ""
}

	Description	Default
`BLNK_BACKUP_DIR`	Local directory path Blnk uses when writing backup files.	None
`BLNK_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`	Access key ID used to authenticate with S3.	None
`BLNK_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`	Secret access key used to authenticate with S3.	None
`BLNK_S3_ENDPOINT`	Custom S3 endpoint, usually used for S3-compatible storage providers.	None
`BLNK_S3_BUCKET_NAME`	Bucket name where backup files are stored.	None
`BLNK_S3_REGION`	Region for the S3 bucket.	None

Important: Store BLNK_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and BLNK_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY as secrets. Do not commit them to version control.

BLNK_BACKUP_DIR

Use this to tell Blnk where backup files should be written before they are stored or uploaded.

Set a path that your Blnk process can read from and write to. If you are running Blnk in containers, make sure the directory is backed by a mounted volume instead of short-lived container storage.
