Backup script seafile userdata and database

[Aran]

Hi,

i'm using the following (very basic) script to backup my seafile container:

 

#!/bin/bash
docker stop Seafile-Official
sleep 10s
docker exec mariadb -t mysqldump -h [seafile] -u[seafile] -p[seafile] --opt ccnet-db > /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/database/ccnet-db.sql.`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"`

docker exec mariadb -t mysqldump -h [seafile] -u[seafile] -p[seafile] --opt seafile-db > /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/database/seafile-db.sql.`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"`

docker exec mariadb -t mysqldump -h [seafile] -u[seafile] -p[seafile] --opt seahub-db > /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/database/seahub-db.sql.`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S"`

rsync -avh /mnt/user/seafile/ /mnt/disks/backup_data/seafile/appdata/
sleep 5s
docker start Seafile-Official

 

Total size of the docker container is just over 500GB. The mysqldump locks the database and then just copies the 3 databases to a backup folder. It works but i don't know much about linux commands so i wonder if there is anything i should add/remove to finetune the script a bit?
 

Thanks.

What's the reasoning behind the sleep 10s?
