This have been really frustrating for me as of late since I just found out today that it seems to me that the Minetest Multiplayer List is based up if the server been online for at least 8 hours for the last 8 hours.
Rendering daily backups of the server (since it does have to be shut down for it be done safely.) pulling me to the bottom for up to a third of the day because of this up time “uptime” system.
So I am wondering what if there’s anything I am able to do? Like are there other options aside from playing a “creative like” game which is Minecraft and people birching to me, about paying for it?
I have a setup which automatically backs up and restarts services based on borgbackup and borgmatic: https://wiki.tilde.fun/admin/backup/borgmatic
Maybe you can do backups differently by using snapshots. I’m sure you can talk to the devs to find out how they think this is a good idea (doesn’t sound like a good idea to me).
Indeed IF I have a chance at this I either can freeze the docker directly and if that doesn’t do it justice, I may be able to freeze the entire VPS instead (at the new host that is since the current SolusVM installation at the current host doesn’t even works properly and consistently logs me out for NO reasons).
You can use VACUUM INTO to make a live copy of an SQLite DB, maybe borgmatic already supports that, and there are coubtless tutoriala on how to backup Docker containers. So in theory it should be possible 😊
