    Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

    This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

    The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.







  • Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

    • docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
    • This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
    • docker exec -it <container_name>
    • This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

  • Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.



  • Personally the movement mechanics and the tropical overworld were amazing in this game.

    While the water jetpack may seem like a gimmick, I thought it really changed the platforming in a good way.

    Additionally, I’m a sucker for a good overworld and the amount of things you can unlock or discover in delphino plaza turns it into its own sort of level.

    There is definitely some jank and padding (blue coins) in the game, but it holds up better than Mario 64 in my opinion (just due to the camera issues IN Mario 64).









  • I’m not sure if I agree on the “full price” comment, it’s not much different in quality than Myst or Outer Wilds.

    Outside of that I agree, the real deciding factor is how much RNG annoys you. I loved the puzzles and gameplay, but gave up after the “first” ending because there were a ton of puzzles I knew how to solve, but couldn’t get back to or get the right resources for them. Some might argue the RNG is part of the puzzle, but for me it felt more punishing than it should be.
