# Proxmox Docker Volume Backup and Restore Script

This script performs backup and restore operations for Docker volumes within Proxmox LXC containers.

## Requirements

- Ensure that `sshpass` is installed. For installation instructions, visit: [Cyberciti: SSH Password Provider](https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/noninteractive-shell-script-ssh-password-provider/).
- Root login with a password must be enabled on the Proxmox host. Follow these steps:
  1. Edit the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file and apply the following configuration settings:
     - `ListenAddress 0.0.0.0`
     - `PasswordAuthentication yes`
     - `PermitRootLogin yes`
  2. Restart the SSH service using the command: 
     ```bash
     systemctl restart sshd
     ```

## Usage

To use the script for backup and restore operations, execute the following commands:

- To backup a volume:
  ```bash
  ./proxmox.sh backup --host <host> --user <user> --lxc <lxc_number> --volume <volume> --path <path>
  ```

- To restore a volume:
  ```bash
  ./proxmox.sh restore --host <host> --user <user> --lxc <lxc_number> --volume <volume> --path <path>
  ```

### Parameters

- `host`: Proxmox host IP address or hostname
- `user`: Proxmox host username
- `lxc`: LXC container number
- `volume`: Name of the Docker volume
- `path`: Path for the backup location

## Examples

- To backup a volume:
  ```bash
  ./proxmox.sh backup --host 192.168.0.100 --user root --lxc 100 --volume searxng_data --path /Users/hhf/backup
  ```
  > The backup file will be saved to `/Users/hhf/backup/hhf_data-backup.tar.gz`.

- To restore a volume:
  ```bash
  ./proxmox.sh restore --host 192.168.0.100 --user root --lxc 100 --volume searxng_data --path /Users/hhf/backup
  ```
  > The backup file will be restored from `/Users/hhf/backup/searxng_data-backup.tar.gz`, so please ensure that the file exists. This action will overwrite existing files within the Docker volume.
