AutomatedBackup

This is a docker container that is used for daily exports of databases and given files as tar.gz archive.

Usage

Just start the container and specify what to backup and where to back it up to via environment variables and mounts.

Configuration Description
ENV[RETENTION_DAYS] How many days the archives will be kept before they are deleted

ENV[BACKUP_<DB_NAME>] Name of the database to backup and corresponding password
mnt[/backup] Directory to store the created archives in
