Docker Volume Backup
A self-hosted Backup, Sync & Storage app you can run on your own server.
With Docker Volume Backup, you get a self-hosted backup, sync and storage tool that lives on your own server, under your rules. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 4.0K stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 8, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Backup tools must be tested with a restore, not just a successful backup message. Run a trial recovery of one folder, verify checksums or snapshots, and store at least one copy off-site. Sync tools deserve the same care: test conflict behaviour with a throwaway file first.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Docker Volume Backup is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
