Can someone help a geezer out? I’ve stepped away (or gotten permabanned) from all social media except for this one. I barely understand the fediverse. If I don’t plan on starting my own lemmy or mastodon community and literally nobody cares I exist, is there a benefit for me to run a fedi server? Would it help the cause in some way?
Thank you all for your input. ultimately I discovered that the volumes that had been stored inside docker’s directory (on WSL) were actually not the ones I was worried about losing.
My container directory where my compose files are categorized and stored turned out to have everything I really needed. It did take reducing the hashed docker internal volumes to tar.gz to figure that out.
Anyway, I just stopped (not “down”) docker and copied the directory onto one of my extra SSDs. Then I shut down the host, took out the Windows nvme, booted from my Debian SSD, made and mounted a new master container directory, and copied the files over. I had to update the compose and config files to use the new file paths, but once that was done, I did a compose up and everything took off pretty much without a hitch.
I’m Happy either way. That code is the compose for the Firefox container I use. Lemmy just didn’t like my formatting.
