# MongoDB Backup Script

A script to automatically handle the backing up of MongoDB databases and optionally the storage of the archive to a github repository. Designed as a script to be run as a service on a server.

### Setup

1. Rename `.env.example` to `.env`

2. Set the parameters of your **mongoURI, database names, and optionally a gitub url/ssh link**. Ex.

    ```.env

    mongoURI=mongodb://localhost:27017

    databases=db_name_1, db_name_2, ...

    github=git@github:Username/MongoDB_Backup_Repo.git

    github_author=Github_Username

    [email protected]

    ```

    **Note:** If you wish to backup more than one database at a time, be sure to seperate the database names with a comma and a space as follows "`, `".

3. Setup your service on your UNIX-based OS, for example an Ubuntu Server.   

    **i.** Build the project to a binary.

    ```bash

    $ go build main.go

    ```

    **ii.** Create a System Service file

    ```bash

    $ vim /lib/systemd/system/mongobackup.service

    ```

    Now within the `mongobackup.service` file, write the configuration for the program.

    ```service

    [Unit]

    Description=MongoDB Backup Service

    [Service]

    Type=simple

    User=username

    Group=username

    Restart=always

    RestartSec=46400

    WorkingDir=/path/to/project

    ExecStart=/path/to/project/binary

    [Install]

    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    ```

    **iii.** Finally start the service.

    ```bash

    $ service mongobackup start

    ```
