using secrets #23

Hi there, I like your docker image because it's very easy to use and phpmyadmin supports the .sql.gz by default.

Does the image support secret to set the db password?

Hi,

thanks for using this image!

Regarding secrets I am not totally sure what you mean. You can always pass the credentials using environment variables in your session:

export MYSQL_PASS=<secret>
docker run -e MYSQL_PASS fradelg/docker-mysql-cron-backup

If you want to use docker secrets, you can overwrite the entrypoint of the image with your own shell script to read those secrets in an environment variable. Take a look at this answer in StackOverflow:

I hope it helps you
