Comment on Docker in LXC vs VM
MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoHow do you handle backups? Install restic or whatever in every container and set it up? What about updates for the OS and docker images, watchtower on them I imagine?
It sounds like a ton of admin overhead for no real benefit to me.

I just snapshot the parent lxc. The data itself isn’t part of the container at any level, so if I bung up compose yml or env, I can just flip it back. The only real benefit is that all my backups are in the same place in the same format.
Like I’m not actually opposed to managing docker in one unit, I just haven’t got there yet and this has worked so far.
If I were to move to a single platform for several docker, what would you suggest? For admin and backups?
