# mysql-cron-backup
This docker image runs mysqldump to backup your databases periodically using cron task manager. Backups are placed in `/backup` so you can mount your backup docker volume in this path.
## Usage:
```bash
docker container run -d \
--env MYSQL_USER=root \
--env MYSQL_PASS=my_password \
--link mysql
--volume /path/to/my/backup/folder:/backup
fradelg/mysql-cron-backup
```
## 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 3 * * sun` by default, which is every Sunday at 03:00.
- `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.
- `TIMEOUT`: Wait a given number of seconds for the database to be ready and make the first backup, `10s` by default. After that time, the initial attempt for backup gives up and only the Cron job will try to make a 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=0 3 * * *
restart: unless-stopped
```
## Restore from a backup
See the list of backups in your running docker container, just write in your favorite terminal:
```bash
docker container exec backup ls /backup
```
To restore a database from a certain backup, simply run:
```bash
docker container exec backup /restore.sh /backup/201708060500.my_db.sql.gz
```
