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.

    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.

    Most of mine are lightweight so private repos on git.

    For big data I have two NAS that sync on the daily.

    As others said, use volume mounts, and I incrementally backup those with borg to minimize storage space requirements

    I use rdiff-backup to backup the volumes directory of my VPS to a local machine via VPN. Containers are stored in some public registry anyways. Also use ansible with all the configurations and container settings.
