Backing up PieFed instance? (piefed.social)

Hello! I've recently been testing out PieFed (I followed the Docker install instructions), it's actually working quite well... However, I'm a bit of a newbie system administrator, I was wondering if there was a guide or documentation available on how to back up/restore a PieFed instance installed this way? Being able to back up and restore the instance is the one stumbling block I need to get past in order to self host PieFed, so I would certainly appreciate any help that people can provide ๐Ÿ˜€ Thanks!

Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure this out, I was able to write a script for Mastodon that automated the process of dumping the database, copying the system folder and so on, I was able to restore a test backup I made successfully as well. I only say that to indicate that I have at least some familiarity with the shell, but not much ๐Ÿ˜ In the case of Mastodon it's running on "bare metal" so to speak rather than Docker, so this is probably much easier for someone who is familiar with Docker!
