Not containers and data, but the images. The point would be reproducability in case a remote registry does not contain a certain image anymore. Do you do that and how?

Yes I do. I cooked a small python script that runs at the end of every daily backup
import subprocess import json import os # Output directory OUTPUT_DIR = "/data/dockerimages" try: os.mkdir(OUTPUT_DIR) except: pass # Grab all the docker images. Each line a json string defining the image imagenes = subprocess.Popen(["docker", "images", "--format", "json"], stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.DEVNULL).communicate()[0].decode().split("\n") for imagen in imagenes[:-1]: datos = json.loads(imagen) # ID of the image to save imageid = datos["ID"] # Compose the output name like this # ghcr.io-immich-app-immich-machine-learning:release:2026-01-28:3c42f025fb7c.tar outputname = f"{datos["Repository"]}:{datos["Tag"]}:{datos["CreatedAt"].split(" ")[0]}:{imageid}.tar".replace("/", "-") # If the file already exists just skip it if not os.path.isfile(f"{OUTPUT_DIR}/{outputname}"): print(f"Saving {outputname}...") subprocess.run(["docker", "save", imageid, "-o", f"{OUTPUT_DIR}/{outputname}"]) else: print(f"Already exists {outputname}")
