A tool that allows you to dump, archive, encrypt and upload a MongoDB NoSQL database to any S3 compliant bucket with the ease of a couple of environment variables. You can deploy it on Docker (either standalone or Docker Compose), or just run it directly!
When it comes to databases, I never really trust them. Backups are always necessary but when we're speaking about storing irreplaceable and confidential data, I feel like they're extra relevant. This was the mindset behind mongodb-s3-backupper: to help me securely and effortlessly archive MongoDB databases.
The stack is extremely simple, since not much is required for what we're trying to achieve:
Yes, there is docker support. The Dockerfile should be fully buildable and the docker-compose.yml file should work with a valid .env. More on that later.
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| MONGODUMP_S3_ENDPOINT | URL of the S3 endpoint |
| MONGODUMP_S3_BUCKET | Target S3 bucket you want to use |
| MONGODUMP_S3_KEY_PREFIX | S3 prefix/directory under which the archive will be uploaded |
| MONGODUMP_S3_ACCESS_KEY | S3 access key (used for authorization) |
| MONGODUMP_S3_SECRET_KEY | S3 secret key (used for authorization) |
| MONGODUMP_GPG | Complete path of the target GPG public key |
| MONGODUMP_URI | The MongoDB URI of the database in question |
| MONGODUMP_SLEEP | Every how long should the archiving occur? (s,m,h,d) |
Just keep the code clean and don't go overboard with this. It's supposed to be simple.
