# Archivist 

The archivist is run from a either a script or a Docker container.

## Script Use
Running `bin/archivist.sh` alone will back up all configured services.

You can also back up a single service by running `bin/archivist.sh backup service`

## Docker Use

The docker container needs two volumes, one mounted wherever you store the backups and 
the other at `/archivist/archivist.yml` for the config file.

Example:
```bash
docker run --rm \
-v /home/host-user/host_backup_dir:/backups \
-v /home/host-user/archivist_config.yml:/archivist/archivist.yml \
amdavidson/archivist
```
