Simple Binary dumps.

Usage

Add Dumpster as a dependency in your mix.exs:

defp deps() do

[
  {:dumpster, "~> 1.0.0"}
]

end

Either add Dumpster to your applications in mix.exs:

defp application do

[
  mod: {MyApp, []},
  extra_applications: [
    :dumpster
  ]
]

or start it manually by adding it in an Supervision tree:

defmodule MyApp.Supervisor do

use Supervisor

def start_link(args \\ []) do
  [
    {Dumpster, []}
  ]
  |> Supervisor.start_link(build_children(), strategy: :one_for_one)
end

end

Configuration

Options are:

• :path the folder in which the dumps are saved, defaults to the Application dir.
• :format an EEx template String. Available parameters are @unix @year @month @day @hour @minute @second, defaults to "dump_<%= @unix %>". File extensions are added as needed.
• :compressed if true files are compressed with gzip.

Dumpster can be configured either by using the config files or during runtime via the arguments.
