1 Installation Install BackupX via Docker, prebuilt archive, or from source.

Installation

BackupX ships as a single static binary. Three ways to install, pick the one that matches your environment.

No cloning required.

docker run -d --name backupx \
  -p 8340:8340 \
  -v backupx-data:/app/data \
  awuqing/backupx:latest

Or use docker compose:

services:
  backupx:
    image: awuqing/backupx:latest
    container_name: backupx
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8340:8340"
    volumes:
      - backupx-data:/app/data
      # Mount host directories to back up (as needed):
      # - /var/www:/mnt/www:ro
      # - /etc/nginx:/mnt/nginx-conf:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=Asia/Shanghai

volumes:
  backupx-data:

Images: awuqing/backupx — supports linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.

Prebuilt archive (bare metal)

Download from the Releases page and run the installer:

sha256sum -c backupx-v*-linux-amd64.tar.gz.sha256
tar xzf backupx-v*-linux-amd64.tar.gz && cd backupx-*
sudo ./install.sh        # creates system user, installs to /opt/backupx, sets up systemd

The installer:

  1. Creates a backupx system user
  2. Installs the binary to /opt/backupx/bin/backupx and the web console to /opt/backupx/web
  3. Creates /etc/backupx/config.yaml with safe defaults
  4. Installs and enables the backupx.service systemd unit
  5. Leaves Nginx unchanged unless INSTALL_NGINX=1 is explicitly requested
  6. Waits for /api/auth/setup/status; if startup fails, prints systemd diagnostics and exits non-zero

From source

Requires Go ≥ 1.25 and Node.js ≥ 20.

git clone https://github.com/Awuqing/BackupX.git && cd BackupX
make build
sudo ./deploy/install.sh

After make build, the binary is at server/bin/backupx and the built web UI is at web/dist/. The installer consumes those exact paths, so no Docker runtime is required. If an existing configuration uses a non-default port, set HEALTH_URL for the readiness check, for example sudo HEALTH_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9000/api/auth/setup/status ./deploy/install.sh.

The Nginx template is opt-in because automatically installing a catch-all virtual host can intercept existing sites. Review deploy/nginx.conf, then use sudo INSTALL_NGINX=1 ./deploy/install.sh only when it matches the host.

Verify the install

/opt/backupx/bin/backupx --version
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8340/api/auth/setup/status

Then open http://your-server:8340. Choose English or 中文 in the upper-right corner. A fresh database shows System setup, where you create the first administrator username and password. If that form does not appear, retry the status request above before attempting to sign in.
