I’ve been running my #TrueNAS #homelab for six months now. And as I’m moving more services to it, I need to make sure I also can restore my Docker containers if the server should crash. (thoresson.social)

Is getting a SFF box like one of the ThinkCentre M7xx/M9xx and restore there a good way to do that exercise?

Honestly it can be anything, it can be any other pc with docker on it. Your gaming pc, or an old laptop. It doesn't have to perform well, just be able to spin up a container, verify it works, then stop it.

Download whatever latest backup you have (all your docker mounts and configs) and manually spin up each container. You should quickly find out if you're missing anything.

@yaroto98 I had that very thought just an hour ago! :) Will try get Docker up and running on my MacBook.

Thanks!

I'm still annoyed they dropped FreeBSD. It's s NAS, it doesn't have to be everything to everyone

@anders @selfhost sounds like a very good cheap choice for a lab box! I currently run 5 Minecraft servers, my NAS, media server, etc. off a similar box (HP Elite desk with a 4th gen i5) and mostly I'm limited by memory capacity more than anything
