Yeah, containers are great! It's really nice knowing exactly which directories to move if I need to rebalance my services onto other hardware or something.

Most of my services are on my NAS, so I have this setup:

  • /srv/nas/ - everything here is on my RAID, and offsite backups look here (and exclude certain directories to save on cost
  • /home//containers - my git repo with configs, sans passwords/keys
  • configs w/keys live in my password manager

Disaster recovery should be as simple as:

  1. Copy my data from backup into /srv/nas
  2. Clone my container repo
  3. Copy env files to their respective locations
  4. Run a script to get things set up

I use specific container versions, so I should get exactly the same setup.

I'm going to be reinstalling my NAS soon (boot drive is getting old), so we'll see how this process works, though I'll skip step 1 since I'm keeping the drives.
