The last post on the subject I could find was a year ago. So thought I would ask again. I have debian 12 up on miniPC and I have my NAS mounted. My intention is to use jellyfin and some of the arr* stuff. I know only a little about systemd (I just google what I need to know). I have some contianer knowledge, but mostly in k8s. And the docker parts aren’t really my problem. But I have a vague understanding of docker. What are the latest pros and cons of containers vs service installation?
When you say “Backup your docker config folders”. Are you talking about the directory were you would store the dockerfile / docker compose file?
That too, but no, I was referring to the data/config folders for each container.
For example, radarr it would be the config volume you mounted. Generally, the *arrs use a volume called ‘config’, but other containers will differ.
I’ve only had to recover from backups twice in 5 years, once was my fault after fiddling with databases. But if you’re using the development/nightly branches, it’s best to be cautious and avoid having to reconfigure.
