Hi Everyone

I need some help

I'm currently selfhosting some of my applications on Digital Ocean and i run a container using Portainer CE. I was wondering how you guys keep backups for the applications running on docker.

I'm currently using Digital ocean's snapshots feature but is there a better way i could use, any help on this is highly appreciated.

Cronjobs to backup important folders to a separate disk

Git repo(s) for services & configs with weekly automated commits and pushes

I do the reverse… all configs are ansible scripts and files and I just push them to the servers. That way I can spin up a new machine from scratch, completely automated within minutes… just the time it takes the machine to set itself up.
