I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?

Do you have a simple way to automate backups and re-installs of these as well or are you just resigned to having to eventually reconfigure them all when the SD card fails, your OS needs a reinstall or the disk dies?

    I use docker so don’t really have to worry about reproducibility of the Services or configurations. Docker will fetch the right services and versions. I’ve documented the core configurations so I can set them back up relatively easily. Anything custom I haven’t documented I’ll just have to remember or find I need to reset up.
