Installation

Supported versions:

• CentOS 6, 7

• Ubuntu trusty, xenial, bionic, cosmic

• Debian jessie and stretch

TwinDB Backup can be installed from a DEB/RPM package. The TwinDB Backup package can build on a machine with Docker service.

make package will build the package for the operating system defined in the OS_VERSION environment variable. Possible OS_VERSION values:

• 6

• 7

• jessie

• stretch

• trusty

• xenial

• bionic

• cosmic.

# export OS_VERSION=bionic
# make package

Note

The build process requires a lot of available memory. If you see error g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus), run make package on a bigger machine.

The package file will be generated in omnibus/pkg/:

$ ls omnibus/pkg/*.deb
omnibus/pkg/twindb-backup_2.20.0-1_amd64.deb

Once the package is built you can install it with rpm/dpkg or upload it to your repository and install it with apt or yum.

The package bundles TwinDB itself, Python, dependencies and tested version of Percona Xtrabackup. The installed package requires about 800MB of disk space. Make sure you have enough in /opt/.

Besides the TwinDB Backup software the package installs also the config file in /etc/twindb/twindb-backup.cfg and a cron configuration in /etc/cron.d/twindb-backup.

For configuration see Usage.
