Deploy and Host redis-backuper-s3 on Railway

A lightweight Python service that automatically backs up Redis/Valkey databases to any S3-compatible storage on a configurable schedule. Supports authentication and timestamped backups with proper error handling and logging.

About Hosting redis-backuper-s3

Deploying redis-backuper-s3 involves running a containerized Python service that connects to your Redis instance and periodically creates RDB dumps, uploading them to S3-compatible storage. The service runs continuously with configurable cron scheduling, handles authentication, and provides comprehensive logging. It's designed to be stateless and requires minimal resources, making it perfect for automated database backup workflows in production environments.

Common Use Cases

• Automated daily/hourly backups of production Redis databases
• Disaster recovery for Redis data with S3 storage redundancy
• Compliance requirements for database backup retention policies

Dependencies for redis-backuper-s3 Hosting

• Redis or Valkey database instance (local or remote)
• S3-compatible storage service (AWS S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, etc.)

Deployment Dependencies

• Redis CLI tools for creating database dumps
• Boto3 Python SDK for S3 operations

Implementation Details

The service uses redis-cli --rdb for creating consistent point-in-time snapshots:

cmd = ['redis-cli', '-h', self.redis_host, '-p', self.redis_port]
if self.redis_password:
    cmd.extend(['-a', self.redis_password])
cmd.extend(['--rdb', dump_file])

Backups are timestamped and uploaded to configurable S3 paths for easy organization and retention management.
