What I'm trying to do and why

I am currently trying to get some discord notifications working for my backups.
I have followed the instructions on the borgmatic wiki (https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/monitor-your-backups/#apprise-hook) however it doesnt seem to want to work.

I ran the pipx install command and i get the following output

⚠️  File exists at /root/.local/bin/borgmatic and points to /root/.local/pipx/venvs/borgmatic/bin/borgmatic. Not modifying.
⚠️  File exists at /root/.local/bin/generate-borgmatic-config and points to /root/.local/pipx/venvs/borgmatic/bin/generate-borgmatic-config. Not modifying.
⚠️  File exists at /root/.local/bin/validate-borgmatic-config and points to /root/.local/pipx/venvs/borgmatic/bin/validate-borgmatic-config. Not modifying.

   - borgmatic (symlink not installed)
   - generate-borgmatic-config (symlink not installed)
    - validate-borgmatic-config (symlink not installed)
done! ✨ 🌟 ✨

Running the backup with verbose 2 results in the following

/mnt/sdb/borg/paperless.yaml: Calling apprise hook function initialize_monitor
/mnt/sdb/borg/paperless.yaml: Calling apprise hook function ping_monitor
Unable to import Apprise in monitoring hook

Steps to reproduce

Configuration looks like this

    services:
        - url: discord://REDACTED
          label: discord
    states:
        - start
        - finish
        - fail

Actual behavior

/mnt/sdb/borg/paperless.yaml: Calling apprise hook function ping_monitor
Unable to import Apprise in monitoring hook
/mnt/sdb/borg/paperless.yaml: Calling apprise hook function ping_monitor
Unable to import Apprise in monitoring hook
/mnt/sdb/borg/paperless.yaml: Calling apprise hook function destroy_monitor
/mnt/sdb/borg/paperless.yaml: No commands to run for post-everything hook

Thanks for taking the time to file this. Have you run through the pipx setup described in the general borgmatic installation docs? Specifically the ensurepath part? And are you sure you don't have multiple copies of borgmatic installed? When you run which borgmatic, what does the output show?

Hey witten

I did follow that part of the setup as I am running borgmatic as root.
Here is the output from the commands.

root@borr:/# which borgmatic
/root/.local/bin/borgmatic

root@borr:/# pipx ensurepath
Your PATH looks like it already is set up for pipx. Pass `--force` to modify the PATH.

pipx list shows the following output

root@borr:/# pipx list
venvs are in /root/.local/pipx/venvs
binaries are exposed on your $PATH at /root/.local/bin
   package borgmatic 1.8.9, Python 3.8.10
    - borgmatic
    - generate-borgmatic-config
    - validate-borgmatic-config
   package 'borgmatic[Apprise]' 1.8.11, Python 3.8.10
    - borgmatic (symlink not installed)
    - generate-borgmatic-config (symlink not installed)
    - validate-borgmatic-config (symlink not installed)

Iiinteresting. It does look like borgmatic is installed twice, both with pipx! And it looks like when you run borgmatic, it's running the version that's installed without Apprise, which would explain the error you're getting. So my recommendation would be to pipx uninstall both versions (and confirm with pipx list) and then start over by installing just borgmatic[Apprise]. Let me know how that goes!

(I may have to change the documentation to help avoid this sort of situation for other users.)

witten referenced this issue from a commit 2024-05-03 23:49:54 +00:00

To avoid duplicate install, update docs to uninstall borgmatic before re-installing with Apprise (#862).

That was it!

I almost did that to begin with then decided against it.
Would be worth updating the doco for people like me.

Thanks for the help
