Getting started

Welcome to pSync, your trusted solution for scheduling PostgreSQL backups and sending them directly to Google Cloud Storage. We've designed pSync to be both powerful and user-friendly, ensuring that even users with minimal technical knowledge can get started in no time.

Installation

Installation is a easy process, just run the following shell script in your terminal: install.sh

After that, you will have systemd service created and ready to run. You can type: systemctl status psync.timer to check if it's running and systemctl start psync.timer to start it.

For single run, you need to add on your bash configuration file (e.g. ~/.bashrc) the following line (remember to fill with used path on installation):

PATH=$PATH:/opt/psync

Usage

To use psync as standalone run, you need to create a configuration file on your home directory, named psync.env with the following content:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=</path/to/credential.json>

export PROJECT_ID=project_id>
export GCS_BUCKET_NAME=<gcs_bucket_name>

export PSQL_HOST=<postgres_host>
export PSQL_PORT=<postgres_port>
export PSQL_DBNAME=<postgres_dbname>
export PSQL_USER=<postgres_user>
export PSQL_PASSWORD=<postgres_password>

And finally, run the following commands:

$ source ./psync.env
$ psync
