Time Machine Out Of the Box
Time Machine Out of the Box
Yet another Time Machine Docker image.
TL;DR
Install Docker and Docker Compose before running the commands below.
git clone https://github.com/Astrian/time-machine-oob.git
cd time-machine-oob
cp docker-compose-sample.yml docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
Then, go to your Mac, and launch Time Machine preference. Click the “Select Disk” button, and select the instance you just deployed. Input username (timemachine) and password (timemachine).
Okay! Just go ahead and back up your Mac.
Detailed Instructions
You can customize the configuration by editing the docker-compose.yml file. Clone and copy the sample first, then edit the environment variables.
| Variable name | Meaning | Default value in docker-compose-sample.yml |
|---|---|---|
| TM_USERNAME | Volume access username | timemachine |
| TM_PASSWORD | Volume access password | timemachine |
| TM_UID | Time Machine volume owner UID | 1000 |
| TM_GID | Time Machine volume owner GID | 1000 |
| TM_SHARENAME | Time Machine volume name, will be shown in your Time Machine preference | TimeMachine |
| TM_SIZE | Volume size limit, with megabytes | 0 (limited to your physical size) |
Also, you can change the volumes section to export your backup image. The default volume is mounted to the ./timemachine_backup directory.
Special Architecture
If your target machine is in ARM64 architecture, you can use the arm64-latest tag. Just copy the docker-compose-sample.yml file, change the image value to astrian/time-machine-oob:arm64-latest, and run docker-compose up -d.
You must compile the container yourself if you want to run the container on a machine with a non-AMD64 and non-ARM64 architecture. The dockerfile is available in the repository.
