🚀 What is DockerVault?

DockerVault is a lightweight backup system designed to make Docker backups simple, transparent, and predictable.

It helps you:

• Discover Docker containers automatically
• Backup volumes, bind mounts, and configurations
• Keep track of backup history
• Restore data safely when needed

Built for homelabs and small-scale infrastructure.

🏗 Architecture

DockerVault follows a simple flow:
