This Docker image provides the mysqldump command. Generally, this command is bundled with MySQL Server, and you might not always want to install MySQL on the server that needs to do the backups. So this is a nifty way to run mysqldump without installing anything. Furthermore, it avoids warnings in output!

Environment values required:

• MYSQL_USER
• MYSQL_PASSWORD
• MYSQL_HOST
• MYSQL_PORT (optional if default)
• your-database-name

Example:

docker run --rm -e MYSQL_USER=your-mysql-user \
  -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=your-passowrd \
  -e MYSQL_HOST=your-mysql.example.com \
  -e MYSQL_PORT=3306 \
  -v $(pwd):/out ghcr.io/deltablot/mysqldump -r /out/dump.sql your-database-name
