restic-backup-docker/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

Unreleased

Added

• Test suites in tests/ (compat, features, structure) that run the image as a real container, plus a Test GitHub Actions workflow running them on every pull request. The suites are written in Python (pytest) and run via mise install and task test; task test:sabotage proves they detect a broken backup
• .gitattributes pinning shell scripts, the Dockerfile and YAML files to LF line endings. With a Windows checkout (core.autocrlf=true) the scripts were checked out with CRLF, which made the built image fail to start with exec /entry.sh: no such file or directory

Changed

• The Dockerfile now sets the mode of backup, check and entry.sh itself (COPY --chmod=755), so the image no longer depends on the build host's umask or on the exec bit of the checked-out scripts. BuildKit is required as before (default since Docker 23)

Removed

• config-broken.yml and docker-compose.test.broken.yml, replaced by tests/structure.yml and the test workflow

Initial release.

The container has proper logs now and was running for over a month in production. There are still some features missing. Sticking to semantic versioning we do not expect any breaking changes in the 1.x releases.
