## Introduction
This will build a container for backing up multiple type of DB Servers
Currently backs up CouchDB, InfluxDB, MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, Redis servers.
* dump to local filesystem or backup to S3 Compatible services
* select database user and password
* backup all databases
* choose to have an MD5 sum after backup for verification
* delete old backups after specific amount of time
* choose compression type (none, gz, bz, xz, zstd)
* connect to any container running on the same system
* select how often to run a dump
* select when to start the first dump, whether time of day or relative to container start time
* Execute script after backup for monitoring/alerting purposes
* This Container uses a [customized Alpine Linux base](https://hub.docker.com/r/tiredofit/alpine) which includes [s6 overlay](https://github.com/just-containers/s6-overlay) enabled for PID 1 Init capabilities, [zabbix-agent](https://zabbix.org) for individual container monitoring, Cron also installed along with other tools (bash,curl, less, logrotate, nano, vim) for easier management. It also supports sending to external SMTP servers.

## Prerequisites
You must have a working DB server or container available for this to work properly, it does not provide server functionality!
## Installation
Automated builds of the image are available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/tiredofit/db-backup) and is the recommended
method of installation.
```bash
docker pull tiredofit/db-backup:latest
```
### Quick Start
* The quickest way to get started is using [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/). See the examples folder for a working [docker-compose.yml](examples/docker-compose.yml) that can be modified for development or production use.
* Set various [environment variables](#environment-variables) to understand the capabiltiies of this image.
* Map [persistent storage](#data-volumes) for access to configuration and data files for backup.
> **NOTE**: If you are using this with a docker-compose file along with a seperate SQL container, take care not to set the variables to backup immediately, more so have it delay execution for a minute, otherwise you will get a failed first backup.
## Configuration
### Data-Volumes
The following directories are used for configuration and can be mapped for persistent storage.
| Directory | Description |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/backup` | Backups |
| `/assets/custom-scripts` | *Optional* Put custom scripts in this directory to execute after backup operations |
### Environment Variables
Along with the Environment Variables from the [Base image](https://hub.docker.com/r/tiredofit/alpine), below is the complete list of available options that can be used to customize your installation.
| Parameter | Description |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `BACKUP_LOCATION` | Backup to `FILESYSTEM` or `S3` compatible services like S3, Minio, Wasabi - Default `FILESYSTEM` |
| `COMPRESSION` | Use either Gzip `GZ`, Bzip2 `BZ`, XZip `XZ`, ZSTD `ZSTD` or none `NONE` - Default `GZ` |
| `COMPRESSION_LEVEL` | Numberical value of what level of compression to use, most allow `1` to `9` except for `ZSTD` which allows for `1` to `19` - Default `3` |
| `DB_TYPE` | Type of DB Server to backup `couch` `influx` `mysql` `pgsql` `mongo` `redis` |
| `DB_HOST` | Server Hostname e.g. `mariadb` |
| `DB_NAME` | Schema Name e.g. `database` |
| `DB_USER` | username for the database - use `root` to backup all MySQL of them. |
| `DB_PASS` | (optional if DB doesn't require it) password for the database |
| `DB_PORT` | (optional) Set port to connect to DB_HOST. Defaults are provided |
| `DB_DUMP_FREQ` | How often to do a dump, in minutes. Defaults to 1440 minutes, or once per day. |
| `DB_DUMP_BEGIN` | What time to do the first dump. Defaults to immediate. Must be in one of two formats |
| | Absolute HHMM, e.g. `2330` or `0415` |
| | Relative +MM, i.e. how many minutes after starting the container, e.g. `+0` (immediate), `+10` (in 10 minutes), or `+90` in an hour and a half |
| `DB_CLEANUP_TIME` | Value in minutes to delete old backups (only fired when dump freqency fires). 1440 would delete anything above 1 day old. You don't need to set this variable if you want to hold onto everything. |
| `DEBUG_MODE` | If set to `true`, print copious shell script messages to the container log. Otherwise only basic messages are printed. |
| `EXTRA_OPTS` | If you need to pass extra arguments to the backup command, add them here e.g. "--extra-command" |
| `MD5` | Generate MD5 Sum in Directory, `TRUE` or `FALSE` - Default `TRUE` |
| `PARALLEL_COMPRESSION` | Use multiple cores when compressing backups `TRUE` or `FALSE` - Default `TRUE` |
| `POST_SCRIPT` | Fill this variable in with a command to execute post the script backing up | |
| `SPLIT_DB` | If using root as username and multiple DBs on system, set to TRUE to create Seperate DB Backups instead of all in one. - Default `FALSE` |
When using compression with MongoDB, only `GZ` compression is possible.
**Backing Up to S3 Compatible Services**
If `BACKUP_LOCATION` = `S3` then the following options are used.
| Parameter | Description |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `S3_BUCKET` | S3 Bucket name e.g. 'mybucket' |
| `S3_HOSTNAME` | Hostname of S3 Server e.g "s3.amazonaws.com" - You can also include a port if necessary |
| `S3_KEY_ID` | S3 Key ID |
| `S3_KEY_SECRET` | S3 Key Secret |
| `S3_PATH` | S3 Pathname to save to e.g. '`backup`' |
| `S3_PROTOCOL` | Use either `http` or `https` to access service - Default `https` |
| `S3_URI_STYLE` | Choose either `VIRTUALHOST` or `PATH` style - Default `VIRTUALHOST` |
## Maintenance
Manual Backups can be performed by entering the container and typing `backup-now`
### Shell Access
For debugging and maintenance purposes you may want access the containers shell.
```bash
docker exec -it (whatever your container name is e.g.) db-backup bash
```
#### Custom Scripts
If you want to execute a custom script at the end of backup, you can drop bash scripts with the extension of `.sh` in this directory. See the following example to utilize:
````bash
$ cat post-script.sh
##!/bin/bash
## Example Post Script
## $1=EXIT_CODE (After running backup routine)
## $2=DB_TYPE (Type of Backup)
## $3=DB_HOST (Backup Host)
## #4=DB_NAME (Name of Database backed up
## $5=DATE (Date of Backup)
## $6=TIME (Time of Backup)
## $7=BACKUP_FILENAME (Filename of Backup)
## $8=FILESIZE (Filesize of backup)
## $9=MD5_RESULT (MD5Sum if enabled)
echo "${1} ${2} Backup Completed on ${3} for ${4} on ${5} ${6}. Filename: ${7} Size: ${8} bytes MD5: ${9}"
````
Outputs the following on the console:
`0 mysql Backup Completed on example-db for example on 2020-04-22 05:19:10. Filename: mysql_example_example-db_20200422-051910.sql.bz2 Size: 7795 bytes MD5: 952fbaafa30437494fdf3989a662cd40`
If you wish to change the size value from bytes to megabytes set environment variable `SIZE_VALUE=megabytes`
