Back Up Your Config

Once you are happy with your configured Spinnaker, you probably want an easy way to reproduce/redeploy it that doesn’t couple you to the VM that Halyard is installed on.

Most of Halyard’s state is stored in the directory for every deployment of Spinnaker that it’s managing. However, things like credential files or paths to user data may appear in different folders on your file system. This makes backing up the state of Spinnaker via Halyard tricky to do by hand… luckily, Halyard has a solution.

This will produce a tar file that contains all linked local files, and a modified halconfig file that points to the local files within the tarball.

and Halyard will expand & replace the existing directory with the backup.
