April 25, 20188 yr When I'm testing a specific Docker Container, I would like to create a quick restore point for that Docker Container. I just want something I can quickly fall back on in case I change a setting which is impossible to change back (this happens on some containers when you tinker around). Does anyone know how to do such a thing easily? The whole CA Backup/Restore plugin is not really geared for this purpose and does not seem suitable.

Everything that is configurable or needs to change should be mapped somewhere accessible, otherwise a normal docker update will wipe out your changes. If you are working on authoring your own custom docker images, then this is beyond the scope of what you originally asked.

April 25, 20188 yr If you're doing your own docker, you could commit each major step you do as a specific version in docker registry / docker hub. If I'm working on setting up a new docker I do things through interactive shells on a dummy base. When I figure out the correct steps to do I then add the scripted steps into the Dockerfile and create a new docker container from that docker file. If I like the results I then commit that docker container to docker registry / hub. The net result is only a single version that exists for it and it looks like it was just created that way. When in reality, it was done through iterative process of many smaller steps and changes.
