Eh I don’t even need to think about this anymore. I have a cron job that backs up every March 31st.

No, they removed that clause some 2 or 3 years back.

I use Borgmatic for my scheduled backups, and sync to Backblaze B2 with Rclone. Works great!

My data doesn’t compress as well as yours though.

Docker wants you to use volumes. That data is persistent too. They say volumes are much easier to backup. I disagree, I much prefer the bind mounts, especially when it comes to selective backups.

Yes that’s what I do too!

Overnight cron to stop containers, run borgmatic, then start the containers again.

I occasionally have had permissions issues but I tend to be able to fix them. Normally it’s just a matter of deleting the files on the host and letting the container create them, though it doesn’t always work it usually does.

I don’t know if this is naughty but I use bind mounts for everything, and docker compose to keep it all together.

You can map directories or even individual files to directories/files on the host computer.

Normally I make a directory for the service then map all volumes inside a ./data directory or something like that. But you could easily bind to different directories. For example for photoprism I mount my photos from a data drive for it to access, mount the main data/database to a directory that gets backed up, and mount the cache to a directory that doesn’t get backed up.

F-Droid. Might be relevant that I’m on GrapheneOS.

I love Audiobookshelf, my main complaint is the Android app crashes when killed by Android (so when I try to open it I get a message about it crashing and then have to reopen it). That might just be a me thing.

I used the tool Libation to download my Audible books. There was a Firefox extension to download audiobooks from Libby but it’s no longer working because Libby changed something and the dev didn’t have time to fight the battle, anyone have a good solution to that?

To be fair, if you don’t know about how gravity works, you would just hold up a rock, drop it, and say obviously things can move without someone moving it.
