You can find a sample application here that already have the yml file for a mySQL database if you to try it out.

Prerequisites

• Installing JHipster
• Installing Docker
• Installing Docker-compose

Installation

With Yarn

To install this module:

yarn global add generator-jhipster-database-backup

To update this module:

With NPM

To install this module:

npm install -g generator-jhipster-database-backup

To update this module:

npm update -g generator-jhipster-database-backup

Usage

First, you have to run the generator using the following command :

yo jhipster-database-backup

Then enter the required parameter (backup frequency), don't forget the whitespace if you are using CRON.

Now a 'backup-database-name.yml' file has been created in the following folder : src/main/docker

This service will periodically backup your database.

Then start your database Your database should be initialized and started in a docker image using the 'database-name.yml' file located in 'src/main/docker'.

sudo docker-compose -f <database-name>.yml up

If the database failed to start, you should check if the port is free (for example 'sudo service mysql stop' to stop the default mysql service).

Finally, start the backup service :

sudo docker-compose -f backup-<database-name>.yml up

You will find your backups in the backup folder located in : src/main/docker
