backup-all-mysql

This Docker image provides a straightforward way to create automatic backups of a MySQL database. Simply run the container, link it to your database, and create a volume to store the backup files. All configuration is handled through environment variables, making it easy to integrate into any Docker-based workflow.

Key features include:

• Customizable Scheduling: Set the backup frequency with BACKUP_INTERVAL and an initial delay using BACKUP_FIRSTDELAY to prevent accidental overwrites on restart.
• Advanced Options: Pass additional options to mysqldump or the MySQL client via MYSQLDUMP_ADD_OPTS and MYSQL_CONNECTION_PARAMS.
• Secure Password Handling: Keep your credentials safe by pointing to Docker secrets using the _FILE suffix on environment variables like MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE.
• Efficient Storage: Save disk space by piping the mysqldump output directly to lbzip2 for on-the-fly compression.
• Easy Monitoring: A simple errorslastrun.log file is created after each run, which is empty on success, making it easy to check the backup status.
