    I run JF in a docker container, and although I don’t have backups of my config files yet (because I don’t really care about setting up from scratch if need be), it would be trivial to simply backup the mounted config volumes. Makes upgrading safe and easy, too.

    That’s probably how I would recommend going about this, personally.

      Yes, it works that easy. I had to move hard drives, last time I did that without docker somehow it didn’t recognize the library, might have been a mistake from my end though.

      Now I did it again just a few weeks ago with a docker setup, all folders are on the hard drive. Could just mirror the drive, set it up at same mount point and there was no difference in the library, just worked.
