Backup to S3

docker run --rm --privileged --device /dev/fuse --name mysql-bkup -e "DB_HOST=db_hostname" -e "DB_USERNAME=username" -e "DB_PASSWORD=password" -e "ACCESS_KEY=your_access_key" -e "SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key" -e "BUCKETNAME=your_bucket_name" -e "S3_ENDPOINT=https://eu2.contabostorage.com" jkaninda/mysql-bkup  bkup -o backup -s s3 -d database_name

To change s3 backup path add this flag : --path myPath . default path is /mysql_bkup

Simple S3 backup usage

bkup --operation backup --storage s3 --dbname mydatabase 

  mysql-bkup:
    image: jkaninda/mysql-bkup
    container_name: mysql-bkup
    tty: true
    privileged: true
    devices:
    - "/dev/fuse"
    command:

      - DB_NAME=mariadb
      - DB_USERNAME=mariadb
      - DB_PASSWORD=password
      - ACCESS_KEY=${ACCESS_KEY}
      - SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY}
      - BUCKETNAME=${BUCKETNAME}
      - S3_ENDPOINT=${S3_ENDPOINT}

Run "docker run" from crontab

Make an automated backup (every night at 1).

backup_script.sh

#!/bin/sh
DB_USERNAME='db_username'
DB_PASSWORD='password'
DB_HOST='db_hostname'
DB_NAME='db_name'
BACKUP_DIR='/some/path/backup/'

docker run --rm --name mysql-bkup -v $BACKUP_DIR:/backup/ -e "DB_HOST=$DB_HOST" -e "DB_USERNAME=$DB_USERNAME" -e "DB_PASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD" jkaninda/mysql-bkup:latest  bkup -o backup -d $DB_NAME

chmod +x backup_script.sh

Your crontab looks like this:

0 1 * * * /path/to/backup_script.sh
