Backups

Automate backup of the database and filesystem to S3.

This container is built from Docker Hub using nails/docker-env-backup

Automated off-site backups to S3 are easily configured using the backup container. Simply add the following configuration to your docker-compose.override.yml file to backup the database and the root project folder:

backup:
    build: docker/backup
    links:
        - db
    volumes:
        - ./docker/backup/logs:/var/log:delegated
        - ./www:/var/www/html:cached
    environment:
        - DOMAIN=localhost
        - S3_ACCESS_KEY=my-aws-access-key
        - S3_ACCESS_SECRET=my-aws-access-secret
        - S3_BUCKET=my-s3-bucket
        - MYSQL_HOST=db
        - MYSQL_USER=docker
        - MYSQL_PASSWORD=docker
        - MYSQL_DATABASE=dev
        - DIRECTORY=/var/www/html

Remember to update the env vars according to your configuration.

You can configure the backup schedule by editing ./docker/backup/templates/crontab, by default (and when enabled), the backups will run daily at 03:00 UTC.

Under the hood, the backup is powered by the Shed CLI tool.
