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.

I just run a pg_dump through kubectl exec and pipe the stdout to a file on my master node. The same script then runs restic to send encrypted backups over to s3. I use the host name flag on the restic command as kind of a hack to get backups per service name. This eliminates the risk of overwriting files or directories with the same name.
