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.
For databases and data I use restic-compose-backup because you can use labels in your docker compose files.
For config files I use a git repository.
On Proxmox i use for my Backup Solution - Hetzner Storage Bix
I have bind mounts to nfs shares that are backed my zfs pools and last snapshots and sync jobs to another storage device. All containers are ephemeral.
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.
