Thanks for that Nextcloud tip!

For the containers, do you mean mounting them to a NAS? I already have them mounted locally on the VM so the files are easy to grab there, but I've never thought about mounting them on a NAS. I'll have to give that a think

You’re welcome

No not to NAS. To the local disk.

For example in Proxmox I have /media/ssd-storage/Containers/ where each subfolder is mounted to it’s VM (therefore isolated) and each VM’s docker-compose file brings in the volume mounts to it’s containers.

Then, all containers are backed up with a duplication of the ‘Containers’ folder. In a couple cases the container itself needs to be shut down in order to be backed up safely but those are few, far-between, and outdated.

Ah Gotcha, I'm already doing that in that case, I throw everything in /media/

Don't ask me why /media, I think I read a guide about 10 years ago for something in Linux that used /media and now I just default to that

I think Ubuntu used /media instead of /mnt. I also ended up using /media on all my Linux boxes after using Ubuntu foe a while. I’m also currently using /Volumes (mostly from services that were on OSX and configured before Docker was available).
