Docker MySQL-Backup
A tool to automatically dump running MySQL and MariaDB databases in Docker containers.
Installation
Manual from GitHub
Clone the Docker MySQL-Backup repository:
git clone https://github.com/kibach/docker-mysql-backup.git
Copy the backup script to the cron.daily (most likely /etc/cron.daily/) directory on your system:
cp docker-mysql-backup/etc/cron.daily/docker-mysql-backup /etc/cron.daily/docker-mysql-backup
Copy the configuration to /etc/default/:
cp docker-mysql-backup/etc/default/docker-mysql-backup /etc/default/docker-mysql-backup
How does that work?
You'll find the detailed information on the Docker MySQL-Backup tool in the original binfalse's blog article.
This version of the tool relies on MYSQL_USER and MYSQL_PASSWORD environment variables instead of MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, which is useful when MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=1 is used.
