Configuration Backup and File Location with Docker

Hi there, I'm trying to figure out where the data for Homarr is stored when installed via docker compose on windows. The Homarr section for my docker-compose.yml looks like this:

  homarr:
    image: 'ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:latest'
    container_name: homarr
    restart: unless-stopped

    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./homarr/appdata:/appdata
    environment:
      - SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY=
    ports:
      - '7575:7575'

  homarr:
    image: 'ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:latest'
    container_name: homarr
    restart: unless-stopped

    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./homarr/appdata:/appdata
    environment:
      - SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY=
    ports:
      - '7575:7575'

When I navigate to the corresponding folders I see a folder named db with a db.sqlite file inside. Is this file the data Homarr uses to store things like integrations, apps, boards, and board configurations, or am I missing something? Notes: I've double checked all my folder permissions and tested (successfully) that docker has the permissions required to create files and folders within the relevant drive.

Solution:

Yes, we use sqlite by default

./homarr/appdata is a relative path, so it depends on where you executed the compose commands from or from where your Portainer is running from If you want to backup, you just need to copy the appdata contents. Try restoring the appdata on another system to practice the restore processes.
