@lil5 ever had a look at https://yunohost.org/ ?

Maybe it helps

YunoHost: garden your own piece of the Internet!

YunoHost is a system that installs itself on a server and allows you to install and maintain - with very little technical knowledge - digital services (apps) that you control.

@eelcoa yeah my issue with yunohost is that it runs mostly on the host Linux, no containers, this makes backups and restoring not easy. Plus fixing issues/maintenance is a lot harder.
@lil5 @eelcoa huh, how interesting, some people actually prefer containers. Probably reason i hate them is issues maintaining from providers standpoint.

@valdeg @lil5 With or without containers, you still need to backup the data and config. With containers the app is more portable, but I've hosted apps for years without containers, and I still do, and I've had no problem with backup/restore.

Yunohost has backup as one of the features (https://doc.yunohost.org/admin/backups/) , but I have no experience with Yunohost. Anyone?

🚑 Backups | Yunohost

In the context of self-hosting, backups are essential for mitigating the impact of unexpected events—such as fires, database corruption, server access issues, or security breaches. The backup strategy you implement should be tailored to the importance of the services and data you are managing. For instance, backing up a test server will be of little interest, whereas when handling critical data for an NGO or business, backups become much more vital. In these cases, it’s crucial to store backups in one, or ideally several locations.

@eelcoa you see, making a backup when you have full access to hypervisor is extremely simple.
