This is more of a docker automation in running a script post startup. This could be a shell script that runs asbackup and asrestore inline. Please see Section 5-3:
https://discuss.aerospike.com/t/how-to-migrate-aerospike-from-one-cluster-to-another/1281
and
# Example
asbackup -h SOURCE_NODE_IP -n NAMESPACE_NAME --outputfile - | asrestore -h TARGET_NODE_IP --inputfile - --unique
More details on asrestore options that could be run from within the container.
Hi,
I would like to know if there would be a way to start the aerospike-server container and automatically restore a dump after the server has started. My goal is to provide an easy way for developers to start the container with a dump from staging or production (mounted as volume or burnt into a custom image), so that they can work locally with a dataset from one of these environment.
I have not find anything in the entrypoint that could make this possible. I know that official Postgresql or mongodb images provide this kind of feature, as you can run a script or load a dump that is located in a folder like /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d. The script is run after the server is started so that you can automate any task, such as a database restore, create users , etc ..., when the container starts.
Is a feature like this planned in the future ? Or could you provide some guidance in order to achieve this ?
Thank you for your help
