@i #dockge is almost _exactly_ what I was looking for, except it doesn't manage network volumes for me. I was hoping that I could have it manage it, so that restoring it from config would also re-mount my network drives exactly as I had them before.
still looking at portainer to see if the overkill is going to get in the way or not. Than you for bringing it to my attention (and sending me down this rabbit hole).
I'm still kinda surprised that proxmox doesn't have something similar since they started supporting OCI containers.
