Backup PostgresSQL to S3 (supports periodic backups)
Restore a SQL backup from S3 to PostgresSQL
## Warning
This will potentially put your database in a very bad state or complete destroy your data, be very careful.
## Limitations
This is made to restore a backup made from postgres-backup-s3, if you backup came from somewhere else please check your format.
* Your s3 bucket *must* only contain backups which you wish to restore - it will always grabs the 'latest' based on unix sort with no filtering
* They must be gzip encoded text sql files
* If your bucket has more than a 1000 files the latest may not be restore, only one s3 ls command is made
## Usage
Docker:
```sh
$ docker run -e S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key -e S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret -e S3_BUCKET=my-bucket -e S3_PREFIX=backup -e POSTGRES_DATABASE=dbname -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_HOST=localhost schickling/postgres-backup-s3
```
Docker Compose:
```yaml
postgres:
image: postgres
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
pgbackups3:
image: schickling/postgres-backup-s3
links:
- postgres
environment:
SCHEDULE: '@daily'
S3_REGION: region
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID: key
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: secret
S3_BUCKET: my-bucket
S3_PREFIX: backup
POSTGRES_DATABASE: dbname
POSTGRES_USER: user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
$ docker run -e S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=key -e S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret -e S3_BUCKET=my-bucket -e S3_PREFIX=backup -e POSTGRES_DATABASE=dbname -e POSTGRES_USER=user -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password -e POSTGRES_HOST=localhost schickling/postgres-restore-s3
```
### Automatic Periodic Backups
You can additionally set the `SCHEDULE` environment variable like `-e SCHEDULE="@daily"` to run the backup automatically.
## Dropping public
More information about the scheduling can be found [here](http://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron#hdr-Predefined_schedules).
If you wish to drop the public schema (drop schema public cascade; create schema public) then set the environment variable DROP_PUBLIC=yes. This is useful for situations where you wish to restore a database which currently has data / schemas in it.
