Running in docker. How to stop/start containers?

[tequilaj-gh]

Hi
Some containers (like postgres) should be stopped or dumped just before doing any backup. I tried to using the docker compose .... down, however docker is not installed.
Is it possible to stop/start containers with run-before/run-finally with the current docker execution?

I suppose you're using our provided docker image?
You should be able to create a new container image based on ours by adding the docker cli package

apk add docker-cli

and allow the docker socket to be accessible from inside the container (search for docker-from-docker for more information)

I would also suggest you install restic/resticprofile on the host instead 👍🏻

Thank you. For a moment, I thought the Docker image was the way to go, but once you recommended the host installation, I will follow your advice.
