I got below: mysqldump -u doadmin -p -h mysql-test-do-user-4915853-0.db.ondigitalocean.com -P 25060 --single-transaction --set-gtid-purged=OFF your_database_name \
/path/to/database_file.sql
Trying to use this in a cronjob without success (adding password to above). Is it not doable to mnysqldump a digitalocean managed database through cronjob?
I noticed “The application prompts you for your MySQL doadmin user password.” from above URL. Does that mean you cant authenticate through cron command?
Thanks

file. The file should be stored at:You should make sure that it has secure permissions:
And you should add the following content:

.my.cnf
file configured, you set up a cronjob to trigger the mysqldump export of your database.Let me know how it goes!
Best,
