  • Yeah, I would recommend trying out other tactical rpgs first, cause if you don’t like the style of gameplay then you’ll probably never be able to get into it.

    Some good intro tactical rpgs that are more approachable (although play somewhat differently) would be Wargroove, Fire Emblem series, Mario and Rabbids (actually better than it deserves).

    Note: Final Fantasy Tatics is a subseries of Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy ranges from turn based rpg to action game depending on the game.

    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.




  • Some of the commands I use a lot for debugging containers, in case you go down that route:

    • docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bash <image_name>
    • This command let’s you enter a docker image with bash so you can test commands and treat it like a temporary VM. Great way to see how the image is setup
    • docker exec -it <container_name>
    • This let’s you enter a running container with bash. A great way to inspect why something might not be working or check mounted volumes, etc.

  • Once you know how to use docker/containerization it’ll be the only way you want to deploy applications. Most popular applications will also have good guides on how to setup/config the container, but sometimes you’ll need to read up on docker and Linux to figure things out.
