# Docker MongoDB Backup

[![Build Status](https://cloud.drone.io/api/badges/katharostech/docker_mongodb-backup/status.svg)](https://cloud.drone.io/katharostech/docker_mongodb-backup)

Extreemly simple MongoDB backup container that simply dumps MongoDB to a file on a cron schedule.

## Usage

```

docker run -v backup-volume:/backup katharostech/mongodb-backup

```

The backup will be written to `/backup/db-backup.archive.gz`. Backups will be run on the `CRON_SCHEDULE` and will replace the previously taken backup at each run.

## Environment Variables

### `CRON_SCHEDULE`

**Default:** `0 0 * * *`

### `INIT_BACKUP`

Set to `true` to do a backup when the container is started.

**Default:** `false`

### `MONGO_HOST`

**Default:** mongodb

### `MONGO_PORT`

**Default:** `27017`

### `FAILURE_HOOK`

This allows you to insert a command will be run when a backup fails. You can use this to trigger a `curl` on a webhook to your chat software or something similar.

**Default:** `true`
