A very easy approach to odoo backup via curl
This docker container automates the download of an Odoo backup via the Odoo DB Manager. Simply mount /backup into the container to store backups
| EnvVar | Description |
|---|---|
| BACKUP_DIR | Rewrite the backup directory inside the container |
| ODOO_DATABASE | Define the name of the Odoo database to backup |
| ADMIN_PASSWORD | Masterpassword of the instance |
| URL | URL where the instance is available |
| SCHEDULE | Cronscheduler for the backup (e.g. */30 * * * * ), if this is not set, the backup will only run once |
| DELETE_AFTER | Delete old backups after n days |
For larger databases, you might want to create a backup without calling the http server. Use the following variables to start a backup via SQL dump
| EnvVar | Description |
|---|---|
| DB_HOST | Host identifier of the database (in case of docker-compose this would be the name of your web container) |
| DB_USER | Database username |
| DB_PASSWORD | Database password |
Make sure you mount the folder containing "filestore" to the backup container into /filestore. Otherwise only your SQL gets dumped. For docker compose this would mean to mount the folder that gets bound to /var/lib/odoo in your web container.
If you have a staging environment and want to restore the captured backup once the job is finished, use:
| EnvVar | Description |
|---|---|
| RESTORE_URL | URL of the staging environment |
| RESTORE_DATABASE | The target database for the restore. DANGER! the previous database will be dropped automatically without a backup. |
| RESTORE_ADMIN_PASSWORD | Admin password for the url |
