The backup roundtrip e2e copied the seaweedfs S3 CA from a Secret named seaweedfs-system-ca-cert in tenant-root, a name captured off a dev cluster. On current main the seaweedfs chart pins fullnameOverride: seaweedfs, so the cert-manager CA Certificate's secret is seaweedfs-ca-cert; the old name is absent and the first CI run of the e2e failed at step 05a with 'secrets "seaweedfs-system-ca-cert" not found'. Default S3_CA_SECRET to seaweedfs-ca-cert and, when that Secret is absent, auto-discover the seaweedfs CA Certificate (the seaweedfs-labelled one with spec.isCA=true) and read its secretName, so a future fullnameOverride change does not silently break the copy again. Fail with a clear message when neither resolves. README and chainsaw comment updated to match.

PostgreSQL backup & restore (barman-cloud plugin)
End-to-end demo of backing up a cozystack Postgres application to S3 and restoring it, using the CloudNativePG barman-cloud plugin (the native spec.backup.barmanObjectStore path is deprecated in CNPG 1.27 and removed in 1.29). Backups flow through the platform BackupClass + CNPG strategy so one strategy CR serves every Postgres instance in the tenant.
What it provisions
The numbered manifests are the documented flow; a human can read and apply them by hand, and run-all.sh drives the same files for a smoke test.
00-bucket.yaml— a cozystack-managed S3Bucketfor the backups, with abackupuser.05-postgres-src.yaml— the sourcePostgres, withbackup.enabled: truesoarchive_commandstreams WALs from helm-install onwards.10-cnpg-strategy.yaml— theCNPGstrategy templated against the live application.15-backupclass.yaml— mapsKind=Postgresto that strategy.20-plan.yaml— an optional cronPlanfor recurring backups.25-backupjob-adhoc.yaml— an ad-hocBackupJob.30-postgres-target.yaml+40-restorejob-to-copy.yaml— restore into a fresh copy, leaving the source running.35-restorejob-in-place.yaml— the destructive in-place restore variant.
Placeholders and derived Secrets
05-postgres-src.yaml and 10-cnpg-strategy.yaml carry REPLACE_WITH_COSI_BUCKET_NAME, REPLACE_WITH_S3_ENDPOINT and REPLACE_WITH_PASSWORD. They also reference two Secrets, <app>-cnpg-backup-creds (the S3 credentials the barman-cloud sidecar reads) and <app>-cnpg-backup-ca (the CA it trusts for a self-signed endpoint). The strategy template renders those names against whichever application it drives, so the restore target needs its own pair too — a restore against pg-target looks up pg-target-cnpg-backup-*. run-all.sh resolves the placeholders from the provisioned Bucket's BucketInfo Secret and materialises the pair for both the source and the target; editing by hand, you copy the coordinates from kubectl -n <ns> get secret bucket-<name>-backup -o jsonpath='{.data.BucketInfo}' and the CA from the seaweedfs CA secret in tenant-root (seaweedfs-ca-cert by default; run-all.sh auto-discovers it from the cert-manager Certificate if the name differs).
Drop the endpointCA block from 05/10 (and set S3_CA_SECRET="" for run-all.sh) when the S3 endpoint is signed by a publicly-trusted CA.
Run it
# Defaults to NAMESPACE=tenant-root; override for a tenant namespace.
NAMESPACE=tenant-root examples/backups/postgres/run-all.sh
# Tear everything down afterwards (idempotent).
NAMESPACE=tenant-root examples/backups/postgres/cleanup.sh
run-all.sh writes a sentinel row into the source, waits for the BackupJob to reach Succeeded, restores to a copy, and asserts the sentinel round-tripped through S3 into the restored copy. Set SKIP_RESTORE=1 to stop after a successful backup.
Automated e2e
The Chainsaw suite at hack/e2e-chainsaw/postgres/ drives this same run-all.sh as a second test (postgres-2-backup-roundtrip), selected by CI whenever the postgres app (or these scripts) change and on every release cut. It runs in tenant-root against the in-cluster seaweedfs endpoint — the isolated e2e tenant cannot reach it across the Cilium egress policy, and the external ingress endpoint is an unroutable placeholder in the sandbox.
