Script to backup Ghost blog

ghost-blog-backup.sh

#/usr/bin/sh

WORKDIR=/home/$USER/ghost

cd $WORKDIR

_date=$(date --iso-8601)
_backup_file_root=./backups/$_date
_backup_file_content=$_backup_file_root/content

mkdir -p $_backup_file_content

echo Backing up content into $_backup_file_content/{images, files, media}
docker compose cp ghost:/var/lib/ghost/content/images $_backup_file_content/images
docker compose cp ghost:/var/lib/ghost/content/files $_backup_file_content/files
docker compose cp ghost:/var/lib/ghost/content/media $_backup_file_content/media

_db_dump_fp="/db-dump-$_date.sql"

echo Backing up database into $_backup_file_root$_db_dump_fp
docker compose exec db \
        sh -c "mysqldump -u root -p\$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD ghost --result-file=$_db_dump_fp"
docker compose cp db:$_db_dump_fp $_backup_file_root/

seraf@localhost:~/ghost> crontab -l
@daily /home/$USER/ghost/backup.sh >> /home/$USER/ghost/logs/$(date --iso-8601).log 2>&1

I have a second isolated deployment (example-app.qa.seraf.dev) where I deploy daily the backups to make sure everything works well, core command:

seraf@localhost:~/ghost-backup> docker compose exec dbb sh -c 'mysql -u root -p$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD -e "show databases; drop database if exists ghost; create database ghost; use ghost; source /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql;"'

This will wipe what's deployed and replace the sql database with the newest backup
