Just a quick question on whether it is alright to have Dockge manage the Backrest/Restic container as one of its stack.
Currently my main directory is as follows:
- ~/docker
- dockge
- stacks
I only have Dockge running as an independent container whose data is inside its respective folder. Every other container is managed via the stacks.
For context, I just want to back up the ~/docker directory and I am only planning to store the data in the same local machine for the time being but I wish to be able to import it to a different drive in the future. I just want a simple backup solution that is reliable and easy to manage.
Since it’s my first time setting up a backup solution like this, if you have useful advice on the steps for properly backing up data for my config, I would really appreciate it.

What do you mean by “all right?” What are your concerns?
restic backups are encrypted by default; it should be safe to store them almost anywhere in the cloud. The container needs the credentials, but you can improve security with something like OpenBAO (Hashicorp Vauly fork, github.com/openbao/openbao), SOPS (gitgub.com/getsops/sops), infisical (github.com/Infisical/infisical), or any number of other secrets management tool.
