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 😀 Thanks!

You could use PieFed in docker with the DB connection set in .env.docker in such a way that it connects to a database on the host. That'd be easier to get to.
