Verify installation

To check if Stash operator pods have started, run the following command:

$ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l app=stash --watch

NAMESPACE     NAME                              READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
kube-system   stash-operator-859d6bdb56-m9br5   2/2       Running   2          5s

Once the operator pods are running, you can cancel the above command by typing Ctrl+C.

Now, to confirm CRD groups have been registered by the operator, run the following command:

$ kubectl get crd -l app=stash

NAME                            AGE
recoveries.stash.appscode.com   5s
restics.stash.appscode.com      5s

Now, you are ready to take your first backup using Stash.

Using kubectl for Restic

# Describe Recovery. Very useful to debug problems.
$ kubectl describe recovery -n <namespace> <name>

Detect Stash version

To detect Stash version, exec into the operator pod and run stash version command.

$ POD_NAMESPACE=kube-system
$ POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -n $POD_NAMESPACE -l app=stash -o jsonpath={.items[0].metadata.name})
$ kubectl exec -it $POD_NAME -c operator -n $POD_NAMESPACE stash version
