See my reply to Gamgee.

Yeah, I rsync from outside the bbs host to local and backup to my nas 
regularly.  Main thing is a clean docker-style update path (again in the 
prior reply)

   docker pull bbsio/synchronet:nightly
   docker-compose up -d

Which is relatively simple... same goes to reverting to a prior release, 
but slightly more complex... assuming something broke.

   kill services
   nuke directory
   restore from backup
   set docker-compose.yml to use a specific nightly (nightly-20220916)
   run docker=compose up

I know it probably seems like overkill... but I have a regularly updated 
image I can pull from at any point, as well as clean backups... and 
installing/configuring a host means I just need to install docker as the 
single dependency.

Takes less time to download the latest image than to build synchronet.
