```yaml
postgres:

  environment:
    POSTGRES_USER: user
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password

pgbackups3:
  image: schickling/postgres-backup-s3
  depends_on:
    - postgres

    - 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_BACKUP_ALL: "false"

    POSTGRES_DATABASE: dbname
    POSTGRES_USER: user
    POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
    POSTGRES_EXTRA_OPTS: '--schema=public --blobs'
```

### Automatic Periodic Backups

You can additionally set the `SCHEDULE` environment variable like `-e SCHEDULE="@daily"` to run the backup automatically.

More information about the scheduling can be found [here](http://godoc.org/github.com/robfig/cron#hdr-Predefined_schedules).

### Backup All Databases

You can backup all available databases by setting `POSTGRES_BACKUP_ALL="true"`.

Single archive with the name `all_<timestamp>.sql.gz` will be uploaded to S3

### Endpoints for S3

An Endpoint is the URL of the entry point for an AWS web service or S3 Compitable Storage Provider.

You can specify an alternate endpoint by setting `S3_ENDPOINT` environment variable like `protocol://endpoint`

**Note:** S3 Compitable Storage Provider requires `S3_ENDPOINT` environment variable
