## Variables
MYSQL_HOST the host/ip of your mysql database
MYSQL_PORT the port number of your mysql database
MYSQL_USER the username of your mysql database
MYSQL_PASS the password of your mysql database
MYSQL_DB the database name to dump. Default: `--all-databases`
MYSQLDUMP_OPTS command line arguments to pass to mysqldump. Example: `--single-transaction`
CRON_TIME the interval of cron job to run mysqldump. `0 0 * * *` by default, which is every day at 00:00
MAX_BACKUPS the number of backups to keep. When reaching the limit, the old backup will be discarded. No limit by default
INIT_BACKUP if set, create a backup when the container starts
INIT_RESTORE_LATEST if set, restores latest backup

If you want to make this image the perfect companion of your MySQL container, use [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/). You can add more services that will be able to connect to the MySQL image using the name `my_mariadb`, note that you only expose the port `3306` internally to the servers and not to the host:
```yaml
version: "2"
services:
mariadb:
image: mariadb
container_name: my_mariadb
expose:
- 3306
volumes:
# If there is not scheme, restore the last created backup (if exists)
- ${VOLUME_PATH}/backup/latest.${DATABASE_NAME}.sql.gz:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/database.sql.gz
environment:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
- MYSQL_DATABASE=${DATABASE_NAME}
- MYSQL_USER=${WORDPRESS_DB_USER}
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=${WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD}
restart: unless-stopped
mysql-cron-backup:
image: fradelg/mysql-cron-backup
depends_on:
- my_mariadb
volumes:
- ${VOLUME_PATH}/backup:/backup
environment:
- MYSQL_HOST=my_mariadb
- MYSQL_USER=root
- MYSQL_PASS=${MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD}
- MAX_BACKUPS=15
- INIT_BACKUP=0
# Every day at 03:00
- CRON_TIME=* 3 * * *
restart: unless-stopped
```
## Restore from a backup
See the list of backups in your running docker container, just write in your favorite terminal:
docker container exec backup ls /backup
```bash
docker container exec backup ls /backup
```
To restore a database from a certain backup, simply run:
docker container exec backup /restore.sh /backup/201708060500.my_db.sql.gz
```bash
docker container exec backup /restore.sh /backup/201708060500.my_db.sql.gz
```
