Docker Deployment
BackupX's official Docker image awuqing/backupx supports multi-architecture (linux/amd64 + linux/arm64).
Compose file
services:
backupx:
image: awuqing/backupx:latest
container_name: backupx
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "8340:8340"
volumes:
- backupx-data:/app/data
# Mount host directories you want to back up:
- /var/www:/mnt/www:ro
- /etc/nginx:/mnt/nginx-conf:ro
environment:
- TZ=Asia/Shanghai
# Required when remote Agents must connect through a public or routed URL:
# - BACKUPX_SERVER_EXTERNAL_URL=https://backup.example.com
- BACKUPX_LOG_LEVEL=info
- BACKUPX_BACKUP_MAX_CONCURRENT=2
volumes:
backupx-data:
Start with:
docker compose up -d
Host-directory backup
To back up files from the host, mount them into the container. When creating a file-type task in the web UI, point the source path at the mount location (e.g. /mnt/www). Make sure the directory is visible inside the container.
Multi-node clusters
When deploying Agents on other machines, set BACKUPX_SERVER_EXTERNAL_URL on the Master container to the URL that those Agents can reach:
environment:
- BACKUPX_SERVER_EXTERNAL_URL=https://backup.example.com
Use an HTTPS URL if Agents cross untrusted networks. The generated one-click install scripts and docker-compose snippets use this value as BACKUPX_AGENT_MASTER.
Environment variables
All configuration keys can be overridden with the BACKUPX_ prefix:
environment:
- TZ=Asia/Shanghai
- BACKUPX_SERVER_PORT=8340
- BACKUPX_LOG_LEVEL=debug
- BACKUPX_BACKUP_MAX_CONCURRENT=4
- BACKUPX_BACKUP_TEMP_DIR=/tmp/backupx
See the Configuration page for the full list.
Upgrades
Check System Settings → Check Updates in the UI to see if a new version is available, then on the host:
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
No migrations needed — BackupX auto-migrates the SQLite schema on startup.
