I am trying to setup a restic job to backup my docker stacks, and with half of everything owned by root it becomes problematic. I’ve been wanting to look at podman so everything isn’t owned by root, but for now I want to backup my work I built.
Also, how do you deal with some docker containers having databases. Do you have to create exports for all docker containers that have some form of database?
I’ve spent the last few days moving all my docker containers to a dedicated machine. I was using a mix of NFS and local storage before, but now I am doing everything on local NVME. My original plan was having everything on NFS so I would worry about backups there, and I might go back to that.
Ideally this is the perfect option from a security standpoint, this as well as each container having it’s own network too.
In a homelab it’s not really required unless you are exposing your network to the internet or are better at creating/managing containers.
If you are just starting out, just keep everything simple.
