PG Back Web is available as a Docker image. You just need to set 3 environment variables and you're good to go!

Here's an example of how you can run PG Back Web with Docker Compose, feel free to adapt it to your needs:

services:
  pgbackweb:
    image: eduardolat/pgbackweb:latest
    ports:
      - "8085:8085" # Access the web interface at http://localhost:8085
    volumes:
      - ./backups:/backups # If you only use S3 destinations, you don't need this volume
    environment:
      PBW_ENCRYPTION_KEY: "my_secret_key" # Change this to a strong key
      PBW_POSTGRES_CONN_STRING: "postgresql://postgres:password@postgres:5432/pgbackweb?sslmode=disable"
      TZ: "America/Guatemala" # Set your timezone, optional
    depends_on:
      postgres:
        condition: service_healthy

  postgres:
    image: postgres:16
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: postgres
      POSTGRES_DB: pgbackweb
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U postgres"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

You only need to configure the following environment variables:

• PBW_ENCRYPTION_KEY: Your encryption key. Generate a strong one and store it in a safe place, as PG Back Web uses it to encrypt sensitive data.

• PBW_POSTGRES_CONN_STRING: The connection string for the PostgreSQL database that will store PG Back Web data.

• TZ: Your timezone (optional). Default is UTC. This impacts logging, backup filenames and default timezone in the web interface.

You can reset your PG Back Web password by running the following command in the server where PG Back Web is running:

docker exec -it <container_name_or_id> sh -c change-password

You should replace <container_name_or_id> with the name or ID of the PG Back Web container, then just follow the instructions.
