ValueError: Unable to find MySQL root password for CONATINER_NAME

Hello, I try to backup my db container, but I still get this error:

ValueError: Unable to find MySQL root password for CONTAINER_NAME
Starting backup...
Found 30 containers.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/src/db-auto-backup/./db-auto-backup.py", line 259, in
backup(datetime.now())

How is your container set up? docker-db-auto-backup attempts to find a "$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD" environment variable on the container. Is that present in your deployment?

Hello RealOrangeOne, I add this environment variable and th error message is away. But now they don't finde any other docker databases :(

What do you mean? Was it finding more before you set the root password? You'll need to make sure the root password is set for each database container you need to back up.
