Hi Everyone

I need some help

I’m currently selfhosting some of my applications on Digital Ocean and i run a container using Portainer CE. I was wondering how you guys keep backups for the applications running on docker.

I’m currently using Digital ocean’s snapshots feature but is there a better way i could use, any help on this is highly appreciated.

When backing up Docker volumes, should not the docker container be stopped first.?? I can’t se any support for that in the backup tools mentioned.

Yes the containers do need to be stopped. I actually built a project that does exactly that.
