While I do monitor my containers with portainer, I don't deploy that way. I do it "old school", having a directory of directories each containing the compose files, env files, and necessay subdirectories. I do use a centalized bare metal database when a database thats not sqlite, (Mysql & Postgres). And I deploy "by hand" (docker compose Pull && docker compose up -d).

Now this has worked very weel across 3 host, but back up has always been a bit labourious, and I was curious is any of you have any effective and maybe semi-automated back up stratagy?
