⁠This repo is legacy and is superceeded by docker-mydumper⁠

This docker image based on debian:jessie is comprised of a pre-compiled mydumper/myloader binary that can be used to backup a mysql instance to a mapped volume.

Usage:

docker run
--name mydumper
--rm
-v {backup_parent_dir}:/backups
mysqlboy/mydumper
mydumper
--host={host_ipaddr}
--user={mysql_username}
--password={mysql_password}
--outputdir=/backups
--less-locking
--compress
--use-savepoints

NOTE: if you're running selinux on your host you'll need to give the mounted location the right context else you'll see permissions issues.
