[Howto]: Use mysqldump-secure in non default PHP containers when running more than one PHP version.
Have you already checked elsewhere?

- [X] I have checked the Devilbox Troubleshooting Guide
- [X] I have checked the Devilbox FAQ
- [X] I have checked the Devilbox Howto
- [X] I have checked the Devilbox Forum
- [X] I have checked existing issues
- [X] I have googled already with no luck
- [ ] I have not done any of the above
What are you struggling with?
When using multiple PHP versions, mysqldump-secure does not work in the non default containers without editing /etc/mysqldump-secure.cnf
After manually editing mysqldump-secure.cnf, mysqldump-secure works but only backs up inside the container and does not back up to the host folder.
mysqldump-secure only works inside the default PHP container.
What have you tried already?
Editing mysqlsecure.cnf but still does not backup to host non container backup directory.
What is your goal?
To be able to use mysqldump-secure inside any php container and not just the default php container.
Hey, just took a look on my local setup. It seems to be missing in the docs, but according to this piece of code, you can set the variables
MYSQL_BACKUP_USER=user_to_use_for_backup
MYSQL_BACKUP_PASS=your_password_for_that_user
MYSQL_BACKUP_HOST=mysql
in the .env file in the devilbox directory.
After that restart the containers and try again. Locally it worked for me, hope it works for you too.
Might look into opening a PR for the docs later, but not sure if I will remember.
ALSO for the issue of them not showing in the host's folder, but only in the container.
It seems this is missing from the multi-php's docker-composer.override.yml. I added it to my other php containers, and can verify that now the backups are showing in the host's folder too.
It should be a part of volumes: key.
