mongodb-s3-backup

A Docker Image to run MongoDB backups unattended using mongoexport. Available for both arm64 and x86 (amd64) architectures.

There are also two versions of the docker image for MogoDB versions 4 and 5.

In a nutshell

This image will create a backup of specific tables using mongoexport, by creating one gzipped file per MongoDB collection (table).

The backup script stores all the backup artifacts in S3, the S3 bucket name and path being fully configurable using environment variables.

Per invocation, the script will create a folder YYYYMMDD-HHmmss to save the backup artifacts.

EVN var name	Description	Example
MONGODB_BACKUP_URI	MongoDB URI	mongodb://my-mongo-server.intern/my-database
MONGODB_BACKUP_S3_URL	S3 URL where the backup generations should be stored	s3://my-bucket-name/my/path

Usage

Execute this image using an "action" parameter, followed by a list of collections to be processed (leave empty to process all available collections in the database).

Currently, the only supported action name is backup.
