    Looks like there is a config and cache location in their docker scripts. The easiest way to make a docker application portable is to bind mount the config and cache. That way you have access to the actual files and could copy them to your windows partition.

    If you’re already using a volume for that data, I think it becomes a bit trickier. I know technically you can move or copy volumes, but I’ve never tried. Although you could still bind mount a random directory and still copy the files out.

    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.












  • I think the easiest way would be to have two vlans on your local network. One that is connected to the internet and another that is local only. I think you’d have to switch networks when wanting to access the jellyfin server in that instance, but would negate the main issue, which is your VPN.

    Edit: that’s about the most secure you can get I think. If you bought a different physical router to host it, you’d have about as secure a setup as possible.
