Support autorestic #63

Hi!

Are there plans to support autorestic for easier configuration and management?

niondir commented 3 years ago

Currently not. Sounds more like a replacement for the docker container since some features are already implemented here like the CRON. Even multiple backup locations could be better implemented by a simple script. So I currently see no need.

If someone has good arguments I'm open for discussion.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Indeed, some of the functionality is doubled. My question came from the fact that there isn't currently a sandboxed and containerized way of installing autorestic AFAIK, and maybe this could do it.

The use case would be pulling the image with autorestic, passing it the configuration file and all the local volumes it should have access to to back up, and just keep it running in the background.

Autorestic just seems simpler to configure
