How to save data automatically with docker-compose?

[yingshaoxo]

In the original redis, it can save data automatically, but with dragonfly, as I tested out, it's not working.

Here is my config:

  dragonfly: # the new redis
    image: docker.dragonflydb.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly:v0.12.0
    command:
      - "--save_schedule=`*:01`" # save for every 1 minutes
      - "--dbfilename=dump.rdb"
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'
    volumes:
      - "./configs/redis_data:/data"
    restart: unless-stopped

Nothing appears in ./configs/redis_data/

*:01 it's not every 1 minute. *:* is every one minute - we parse it as a glob.

[yingshaoxo]

No, it's not working.

It says:

Invalid snapshot time specifier `*:*`

Weird, it worked for me via docker.

OK

Now I found the problems:

1. I shouldn't use '`' in the command
2. --dbfilename must be an absolute path under /data folder

I hope one of you guys should do an update in the readme, because it didn't cover this information

  dragonfly: # the new redis
    image: docker.dragonflydb.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly:v0.12.0
    command:
      - "--save_schedule=*:*" # save for every 1 minutes
      - "--dbfilename=/data/dump.rdb"
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'
    volumes:
      - "./configs/redis_data:/data"
    restart: unless-stopped

I think the backtick issue is not related to dragonfly.
Regarding dbfilename - actually we have another redis-compatible flag: --dir.
So I think it should be:

 command:
     - "--dir=/data/"
     - "--dbfilename=dump.rdb"

Where would you like us to add it? A dedicated section for docker-compose?

[yingshaoxo]

#633

[yingshaoxo]

Yes, I could

Can I ask a question?

How can I let it save data per 1 hour?

I tried to set it to --save_schedule=*:60, but it's not working

[romange]

try --save_schedule=*:00. Minutes are in 0-59 range.
