Docker Container Usage

After building your container, you can use it like this:

docker run -v "/home/kiview/Gitlab/:/project" \
    -v "$(pwd)/backup:/backup" \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    docker_volume_backup:latest Gitlab /backup backup

Note you don't need to provide the path to docker-compose.yml. It is assumed to be mounted under /project/docker-compose.yml.
