Update Docker backup docs
Description
In docs/docker-postgres-backups.rst it's suggested to use:
docker-compose -f local.yml exec postgres backup
I'd suggest updating that to:
docker-compose -f local.yml exec -T postgres backup
Rationale
Running the command as documented from a Cron job fails with:
The input device is not a TTY.
This can be fixed by adding the above -T switch.
Use case(s) / visualization(s)
Works fine as documented if backing up by hand. Cron jobs however have potential to fail.
Sounds good. I wouldn't include this option in all commands, but I think it would be great to add a paragraph at the end of the page on how to run backups in a crontab.
We could link to some external documentation for those unfamiliar with cron and maybe suggest an entry for daily backups.
