Automatically delete old backup

[Surfict]

Hello,

Is there a way to automatically delete old backups, like with the ENV VAR "REMOVE_BEFORE" that we can use with kartoza/docker-pg-backup ?

Thanks !

No not yet. Would be a very useful feature. Though it has some danger: if somehow the backup is failing or empty without notice, one could end up with empty backups...Possibly a "verify" action would be useful first.

But anyways, this would not be too hard to implement, as the Python script is calling some Linux file commands already (like mkdir). There are oneliners to remove all dirs based on regexp:

So if the ENV VAR "REMOVE_BEFORE" is set this could be triggered after backup is done.

If you are able to make a PR, that would be welcome.
