Yeah, containers are great! It’s really nice knowing exactly which directories to move if I need to rebalance my services onto other hardware or something.
Most of my services are on my NAS, so I have this setup:
/srv/nas/<folder> - everything here is on my RAID, and offsite backups look here (and exclude certain directories to save on cost
/home/<user>/containers - my git repo with configs, sans passwords/keys
configs w/keys live in my password manager
Disaster recovery should be as simple as:
Copy my data from backup into /srv/nas
Clone my container repo
Copy env files to their respective locations
Run a script to get things set up
I use specific container versions, so I should get exactly the same setup.
I’m going to be reinstalling my NAS soon (boot drive is getting old), so we’ll see how this process works, though I’ll skip step 1 since I’m keeping the drives.
