Usage

First steps: Setup the Minio and Postgres 12 Server using docker-compose command.

services:
  minio:
    image: quay.io/minio/minio
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - data1-1:/data1
    ports:
      - 9000:9000
      - 9001:9001
    environment:
      MINIO_ROOT_USER: minioadmin
      MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD: minioadmin
    command: server /data --console-address ":9001"
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:9000/minio/health/live"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 20s
      retries: 3

  postgres:
    image: postgres:12
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - pg-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    logging:
      options:
        max-size: "100k"
        max-file: "3"
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: db
      POSTGRES_DB: db
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: db

Second Steps: Backup your database and upload the dump file to S3 storage.

  backup_postgres:
    image: appleboy/docker-backup-database:postgres12
    logging:
      options:
        max-size: "100k"
        max-file: "3"
    environment:
      STORAGE_DRIVER: s3
      STORAGE_ENDPOINT: minio:9000
      STORAGE_BUCKET: test
      STORAGE_REGION: ap-northeast-1
      STORAGE_PATH: backup_postgres
      STORAGE_SSL: "false"
      STORAGE_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY: "false"
      ACCESS_KEY_ID: minioadmin
      SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: minioadmin

      DATABASE_DRIVER: postgres
      DATABASE_HOST: postgres:5432
      DATABASE_USERNAME: db
      DATABASE_PASSWORD: db
      DATABASE_NAME: db
      DATABASE_OPTS:

The default lifecycle policy is to keep the backup files for 7 days. You can change the STORAGE_DAYS environment variable to keep the backup files for a different number of days. You also can change the STORAGE_PATH environment variable to save the backup files in a different directory.

  STORAGE_DAYS: 30
  STORAGE_PATH: backup_postgres

Cron schedule to run periodic backups. See the TIME_SCHEDULE and TIME_LOCATION

  backup_mysql:
    image: appleboy/docker-backup-database:mysql8
    logging:
      options:
        max-size: "100k"
        max-file: "3"
    environment:
      STORAGE_DRIVER: s3
      STORAGE_ENDPOINT: minio:9000
      STORAGE_BUCKET: test
      STORAGE_REGION: ap-northeast-1
      STORAGE_PATH: backup_mysql
      STORAGE_SSL: "false"
      STORAGE_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY: "false"
      ACCESS_KEY_ID: 1234567890
      SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: 1234567890

      DATABASE_DRIVER: mysql
      DATABASE_HOST: mysql:3306
      DATABASE_USERNAME: root
      DATABASE_PASSWORD: db
      DATABASE_NAME: db
      DATABASE_OPTS:

      TIME_SCHEDULE: "@daily"
      TIME_LOCATION: Asia/Taipei

Each line of a crontab file represents a job, and looks like this:

# ┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)
# │ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
# │ │ ┌───────────── day of the month (1 - 31)
# │ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)
# │ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of the week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday;
# │ │ │ │ │                                   7 is also Sunday on some systems)
# │ │ │ │ │
# │ │ │ │ │
# * * * * * <command to execute>

A cron expression represents a set of times, using 5 space-separated fields.

Field name	Mandatory?	Allowed values	Allowed special characters
Minutes	Yes	0-59	* / , -
Hours	Yes	0-23	* / , -
Day of month	Yes	1-31	* / , - ?
Month	Yes	1-12 or JAN-DEC	* / , -
Day of week	Yes	0-6 or SUN-SAT	* / , - ?

You may use one of several pre-defined schedules in place of a cron expression.

| @monthly               | Run once a month, midnight, first of month | 0 0 1 * *     |
| @weekly                | Run once a week, midnight between Sat/Sun  | 0 0 * * 0     |
| @daily (or @midnight)  | Run once a day, midnight                   | 0 0 * * *     |
