# minback-mongo
**Minio Backup container for MongoDB**

This container provides a trivially simple means to run `mongodump` and fire the results off
to a [Minio][] instance. It is intended to be run in conjunction with a [Kubernetes CronJob][]
to maintain a frequent backup of your critical data with minimal fuss.

## Features
* Dumps a single MongoDB database to an S3 bucket
* Lightweight and short lived
* Simple and readable implementation
* Optional encryption for archive file

## Example
```sh
docker run --rm --env-file backup.env minback/mongo my_db -h mongoserver1
```

#### `backup.env`
```
MINIO_SERVER=https://play.minio.io/
MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minio
MINIO_SECRET_KEY=miniosecret
MINIO_BUCKET=backups
```

## Usage
```
DB_NAME [OPTIONS...]

Arguments
DB_NAME - The name of the database you wish to backup
OPTIONS - Any additional options you wish to pass to mongodump
```

## Configuration
This container is configured using environment variables, enabling it to easily be started
manually or automatically and integrate well with Kubernetes' configuration framework.

#### `MINIO_SERVER=https://play.minio.io/`
The Minio server you wish to send backups to.

#### `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minio`
The Access Key used to connect to your Minio server.

#### `MINIO_SECRET_KEY=miniosecret`
The Secret Key used to connect to your Minio server.

#### `MINIO_BUCKET=backups`
The Minio bucket you wish to store your backup in.

#### `ENCRYPTION_KEY`
(Optional) The OpenSSL symmetric key to protect the archive with. Should be sufficiently long to prevent dictionary based attacks.

### `DATE_FORMAT=+%Y-%m-%d`
The date format you would like to use when naming your backup files. Files are named `$DB-$DATE.archive`.
