This is what happens when you've got several third party repos. I just wanted to clean up some unneeded config files before upgrading to Trixie. Looks like I moved to docker-ce from docker.io at some point in the past. And purging docker.io's files meant purgin docker-ce's files as well.

My Lemmy container remained surprisingly stable over that period. Only pict-rs went down or you would have gotten this post a little sooner.

But... my Docker volumes!

It's absolutely insane that Debian would remove /var/lib/docker when uninstalling Docker.

To be fair, I was purging. That is supposed to remove all remnants of a package. Trouble arises when another package is still using those remnants.
