Docker image containing Percona XtraBackup

Dockerized XtraBackup

This Docker image contains an installation of XtraBackup that can be used to create backups of MySQL and MariaDB containers with minimal configuration.

Usage

Create a MariaDB container to backup first:

docker run -d --name my-database \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=test \
    -e MYSQL_USER=test \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=test \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=test mariadb:latest

Now start the xtrabackup container. You can mount a directory into the container's /target directory.

docker run --volumes-from my-database -v /var/backups/mysql:/target --rm martinhelmich/xtrabackup
