We're using [Velero][1] (formerly Ark) for backing up Kubernetes config and GKE
|
|
|
|
|
resources. It is available as a compiled binary for your platform [on GitHub][2]

The Velero service is running on the Sidamo cluster and was set up using the
|
|
|
|
|
[official docs' GCP instructions][3]. There's a daily backup

schedule in effect for Gitea (using the label `app=gitea`).

## Backup location
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Cloud Storage container][5].

## Persistent volumes
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Persistent volumes are just GCE disks. Thus, with the current config, Velero
|
|
|
|
|
creates volume snapshots as native [GCE disk snapshots][6].
