file-compression-service

A docker container to compress files using tar

Getting started

Add the following snippet to your docker-compose.yml:

services:
  compress:
    image: redpencil/file-compression-service:1.0.0
    volumes:
      - ./data/logs/stats:/data/logs:rw
      - ./data/compressed/stats:/data/compressed:rw

The files mounted in /data/logs matching the defined COMPRESSION_GLOB will be compressed. The resulting files are written to /data/compressed.
