mongodb-backup-s3

This image runs mongodump to backup data using cronjob to an s3 bucket

Added support for AWS S3 v4 authorization mechanism for those who are experiencing error:

A client error (InvalidRequest) occurred when calling the PutObject operation: The authorization mechanism you have provided is not supported. Please use AWS4-HMAC-SHA256.

Play well with this docker nginx-letsencrypt-mongo-portainer setup

Usage:

docker run -d \
  --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=awsaccesskeyid \
  --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=awssecretaccesskey \
  --env BUCKET=mybucketname
  --env MONGODB_HOST=mongodb.host \
  --env MONGODB_PORT=27017 \
  --env MONGODB_USER=admin \
  --env MONGODB_PASS=password \
  deenoize/mongodb-backup-s3

If you link deenoize/mongodb-backup-s3 to a mongodb container with an alias named mongodb, this image will try to auto load the host, port, user, pass if possible. Like this:

docker run -d \
  --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskeyid \
  --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretaccesskey \
  --env BUCKET=mybucketname \
  --env BACKUP_FOLDER=a/sub/folder/path/ \
  --env INIT_BACKUP=true \
  --link my_mongo_db:mongodb \
  deenoize/mongodb-backup-s3

If your bucket in not standard region and you get A client error (PermanentRedirect) occurred when calling the PutObject operation: The bucket you are attempting to access must be addressed using the specified endpoint. Please send all future requests to this endpoint use BUCKET_REGION env var like this:

docker run -d \
  --env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskeyid \
  --env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretaccesskey \
  --env BUCKET=mybucketname \
  --env BUCKET_REGION=mybucketregion \
  --env BACKUP_FOLDER=a/sub/folder/path/ \
  --env INIT_BACKUP=true \
  --link my_mongo_db:mongodb \
  deenoize/mongodb-backup-s3

Add to a docker-compose.yml to enhance your robotic army:

For automated backups

mongodbbackup:
  image: 'deenoize/mongodb-backup-s3:latest'
  links:
    - mongodb
  environment:
    - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=myaccesskeyid
    - AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=mysecretaccesskey
    - BUCKET=my-s3-bucket
    - BACKUP_FOLDER=prod/db/
  restart: always

Or use INIT_RESTORE with DISABLE_CRON for seeding/restoring/starting a db (great for a fresh instance or a dev machine)
