Image prepared to backup PostgreSQL database to Microsoft Azure.
This image is heavily based on iainmckay/docker-mysql-backup.
There is a custom build available on the public registry at neowaylabs/postgres-azure-backup.
To backup run:
$ docker run -e AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=account -e AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=key -e AZURE_STORAGE_CONTAINER=container -e POSTGRES_HOST=127.0.0.1 -e POSTGRES_USER=root -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password neowaylabs/postgres-azure-backup backup
You can provide an extra argument with a specific database to backup.
