job-exec with swarm container

[sgohl]

I want to execute mongodump in a swarm container @daily.
As you know, swarm containers are named randomly.

how does this work with ofelia? Is there some kind of filter available, like we use to do this ?

docker ps -f name=mongo1

[job-exec "mongodump"]
schedule = @daily
container = mongo_mongo1.1.f0dmbbmxwza22tzqfhnopzt3f
command = mongodump

you see, that cant go well for very long ...

Hey @Port22
there is no exec for swarm jobs. But what you can try is something like

[job-service-run "mongodump"]
schedule = @daily
image = mongo
network = mongo_network
command =  mongodump -h mongo ...

this will create another swarm service, so you need to make sure it can connect to your Mongo DB.

Not sure if it will satisfy your requirement, but I think that is the only option for now.

hey thanks for that fast answer!

That was actually my first try, but how do I mount a volume into that freshly created service?
for the dumps output ...

I was afraid you would ask that 😅

Ofelia has no support of mounting volumes yet, unfortunately. #70
