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.
duplicati to take live, crash-consistent backups of all my windows servers and VMs with Volume Shadowcopy Service (VSS)
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.
Thanks, I will look into this.
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.
On Proxmox i use for my Backup Solution - Hetzner Storage Bix
I use Nautical. It will stop your containers before performing an RSYNC backup.
