Simplest Homelab Backup Strategy (That Came to My Mind)
I came across this amazing project offen/docker-volume-backup which not only can backup volumes locally on a schedule, it can also gracefully shut down the containers before doing so to make sure there are no unfinished writes. It also supports features like notifications, backup rotation, and compression. Additionally, it's compatible with different storage backends, making it easy to switch strategies—for example, to a remote server. And all of this with a simple Docker container. This is the whole Docker Compose configuration I use for it, not much more than the example from the project's docs:

I have a question about
I am interested in coming up with a backup plan before I get too invested in this setup. I found the docker-volume-backup project that looks like it might be a possible solution. However I'm not sure how to implement it using docker swarm since I am new to all of this. I would be interested in learning what backup solution you use for your docker swarm servers.

A Clutter-Free Life: Going Paperless with Paperless-Ngx
How do people usually backup their self-hosted docker services using postgres? I have been using docker-volume-backup [0] and just saving the postgres data directory, but I've found it requires a minute of downtime to backup properly.

Recommended container backup policy
To solve points 1,2 i 3 I think it would be best to make the copy by stopping the container first. I've been looking for utilities and I've found some like offen/docker-volume-backup. Again, the disadvantage is that you have to configure everything (mount points, files, users, passwords...) manually for each container, so it is very easy to forget to create the backup of one of them. Also, the scheduling would not be centralised, so the backup wouldn't be run sequentially container after container. I've searched a lot, but I haven't found any good alternative. How are you dealing with the backup of containers?

How to backup bind mounted volumes with Docker rootless?
Since I'm using docker rootless, I've run into issues using convenient solutions such as offen. These solutions don't work in a rootless context due to file permissions. The user in the offen container cannot read some directories owned by other containers. This is usually an issue with databases.

Asking for help (host os, backup, exposing to www)
You should have backup OS and data but using a separate backup jobs. Backup OS drive using Timeshift or Veeam Agent. Backup Docker server's containers using Offen or Borg. OS backup would allow you restore operating system while data backup would allow recover files.
