Hey there,
I'm in need of a bit of wisdom here:
I recently got myself a shiny new Vserver and have it running exclusively with docker containers that use regular volumes.
Now: how would I back this thing up? I mean, I have read a lot about borg for example, but I'm not sure how to do it the right way:
Do I just copy / to a repo and fiddle the data back in place if stuff goes wrong, or would it be wiser to backup the volumes, do a docker save and export the images to a folder and then send that to the storage box?
Since docker should stop the containers to prevent data inconsistency during a backup: How do I tell Borg to do that? I've seen several approaches (Borg Dockerized with some sort of access to docker's .sock, Borg setup on the host, and some even wilder approaches).
Since Backups aren't something you can "try again" once you need them, I'd rather have a solution that works.
Oy! Before you spew out shit that is frankly disgusting in the context of what happened in Uvalde, maybe think for a split-second about what you're about to say, eh?
Besides, if a whole nation continues to fail it's “tired, poor, it's huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, blaming parents for just not parenting enough is misguided at best and delusional at worst. Do you think parents just don't give a fuck when their children suffer? Do you think parents will just let their kids down and let them fall into the void that results in school shooters? No. No, they will not. But there is only so much a parent can do if the entire rest of society doesn't give the slightest of fucks. You don't have kids, have you?
