This docker image is a simple way to backup files and databases

Run image and mount everythings you want in /backups ! You can use cron expression to plan backups or use external runner like crontab, kubernetes cronjobs, etc...

Mount /home to /backups then it will create a user.tar.gz for each users

docker run -d \
       -v /home:/backups
       beaukode/cron-backup

This exemple use openssh key from ~/.ssh/id_rsa

docker run -d \
       -v /home:/backups
       -v `echo $HOME`/.ssh/id_rsa:/id_rsa
       --env SFTP_HOST=127.0.0.1
       --env SFTP_USERNAME=backup
       --env SFTP_PRIVKEY=/id_rsa
       beaukode/cron-backup

Mount them in /backups and it will create 2 archives (etc.tar.gz & webroot.tar.gz) every day at midnight

docker run -d \
       -v /etc:/backups/etc
       -v /var/www:/backups/webroot
       --env BACKUP_CRON=0 0 * * * \
       beaukode/cron-backup
