Just forcing them to record exactly where important files are saved and config files live has been hugely helpful. I like that it makes it easy to keep my config from being shit all over /etc with a thousand other files I will never want or need to touch, so my modifications to /etc on a typical server are small and tightly confined to a small number of files. What do I back up? It's right there in the "mounts" list. Have I backed up everything important? Add some dummy data, remove the image and do an "up" and if it still looks right, then yes, I have. ... and I don't have to re-learn any distro-specific config or packaging, for those dockerized services. Get it right once, and you're done. > The worst offender for was probably Gitea - it just ignored half of the settings until I found a combination what would trigger supporting some settings (!) Haha, that's actually one I run, and also one of the worst I've ever encountered. I found the Rootless version of their image much easier to deal with (I never got the other one to work at all) personally, for whatever reason. Part of the trouble is that Gitea's config file, and documentation thereof, is kinda a damn mess.
