This is a very simplistic container to perform periodic backups of an adjacent mongo container.

Environment Variables

• HOST (default: localhost) : the hostname of the mongodb server to backup
• PREFIX (default: mongodb) : the prefix part of the backup archive filename. The name will also include a date-time field.
• INTERVAL (default: 86400) : the number of seconds between each backup that will be taken. If set to zero, then the container will run the process once and exit. This is useful when running as a Kubernetes CronJob

Volumes

• /backups : this where the script will place the backup archives by default
