Container::Backup

Caution: Early Prerelease

Uses docker-compose backup labels for each container to backup/restore specified assets

Supported assets include:
    - databases
        - mssql 
        - mysql
        - mongodb
        - influxdb
        - chronograf   
    - volumes
    - directories

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'container-backup'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install container-backup

Usage: container-backup [options] container_names

Back up or restore container assets base on docker-compose label configuration

available backup types include:

• volumes
• databases
• mapped directories

    -f, --file=DOCKERFILE            Docker file with backup/restore configuration
    -b, --backup                     Backup
    -d, --directory=BACKUP_DIRECTORY Backup
    -r, --restore                    Restore
        --review                     Review backup/restore actions
        --details                    Review backup/restore actions with commands to be executed
    -h, --help                       Prints this help

Every container has a mapped directory where backups are externally stored:

    volumes:
      - "mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql"
      - "./backups:/root/backups"
      - "./backup:/backup"

Include the backup label in your docker compose files as follows:

     labels:
          - "backup={volumes: [mongo_data],databases: [mongo: {user: ${MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME}, password: ${MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD}}]}"
          - "backup.1={volumes: [influxdb_data],databases: [influxdb: {user: ${INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER},password: ${INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD}}]}"
          - "backup.chronograf={volumes: [chronograf_data],databases: [chronograf]}"
          - "backup.2={directories: [/var/www/html/libraries, /var/www/html/modules, /var/www/html/profiles, /var/www/html/themes, /var/www/html/sites]}"
          - "backup.drupal={volumes: [drupal_mysql_data],databases: [mysql: {db: ${MYSQL_DATABASE},password: ${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD},user: root}]}"

In the above example env variables are getting replaced during backup execution, as below:

{volumes: [mongo_data],databases: [mongo: {user: ${MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME}, password: ${MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD}}]}

becomes

{volumes: [mongo_data],databases: [mongo: {user: 'username', password: 'password']}}]}
