🧠 Notes

The bucket specified in bucket: is automatically created if it does not exist.

If you use Longhorn, you can point backups to:

http://<IP_HASS>:9000/longhorn-backup

The credentials are passed as environment variables during bootstrap.

🛡 Security

⚠️ Always use strong passwords.

Consider enabling automatic TLS by placing certificates in /ssl/.

✅ Future TODOs

Healthcheck and Prometheus metrics
Interface for managing users/buckets via options

Made with ❤️ for automation and resilience.
