Each one gets its own Postgres DB instance. Restoring one of these apps (e.g., mattermost, mastodon, authentik) requires restoring the container's volumes and restoring the database back to a sane state.</p><p>I have snapshots of the VM and NFS backups of the VM snapshots via Xen Orchestra backup. If I had to restore, those are not gonna give me consistent restores of a postgres db, which might be in the middle of a disk write or something when the VM snapshot is taken.</p><p>So it seems to me that I either (a) add some job inside each container that runs pg_dump to an NFS volume, <br>(b) run docker exec on the container host to run pg_dump inside each container and pull the dump file out, or (c) enable postgres network connectivity to some backup node that runs pg_dump via remote, and then archives and manages the resulting files.</p><p>Having done this, I also want to gradually expire backups over time and so on. I don't think I need to write this all from scratch.
