    # release version instead of using `latest`.
    # Check https://github.com/jkaninda/mysql-bkup/releases
    # for a list of available releases.
    image: jkaninda/mysql-bkup
    container_name: mysql-bkup
    command: restore --storage ssh -d my-database -f store_20231219_022941.sql.gz --path /home/jkaninda/backups
    volumes:
      - ./backup:/backup
