Back In Time in a Docker Container (as possible solution for proprietary NAS devices from Synology, Western Digital & Co)
Hello folks, I want to add this piece of information somewhere public so someone can find it via web search. I'm not enough into it's details to add this to our FAQ or somewhere into the manual. There exists a Docker Container using Back In Time [1]. It's Dockerfile do use a forked rep [2]. Just out of interest I contacted the creator and asked him about the use case. He explained that it was easer for him to setup BIT on a Synology NAS this way. So I remembered that we do have Issues with proprietary devices like this mentioned in our FAQ [3]. Maybe this can help someone. If anyone does try it out and can tell something about it please report back.

I have created a new issue to test and document this: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1471 Since I have only a Synology NAS at hand I am focusing on that for now...
Hi, Does it make sense to test portability and feasibility on normal systems, or in rootless container runtimes like apptainer? I think if we can develop a text based configuration tool for BiT, we can at least make it runnable on headless systems, and make it deployable with a single command. This will also cater to small home servers (which I incidentially have one). Cheers, H. On 7.07.2023 10:40, BiT dev wrote:
