theorangeone/db-auto-backup repository overview

⁠docker-db-auto-backup

A script to automatically back up all databases running under docker on a host

⁠Supported databases

• MariaDB
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

⁠Installation

This container requires access to the docker socket. This can be done either by mounting /var/lib/docker.sock, or using a HTTP proxy to provide it through $DOCKER_HOST.

Mount your backup directory as /var/backups. Backups will be saved here based on the name of the container. Backups are not dated or compressed.

Backups run daily. To change this, add a cron-style schedule to $SCHEDULE. For more information on the format of the cron strings, please see the croniter documentation on PyPI⁠.

Additionally, there is support for healthchecks.io⁠. $HEALTHCHECKS_ID can be used to specify the id to ping. If you're using a self-hosted instance, set $HEALTHCHECKS_HOST.
