Examples

This folder contains runnable, copy/paste-friendly examples for running Zerobyte in different setups.

Table of contents

Basic usage

• Basic Docker Compose — standard deployment with remote mount support (includes SYS_ADMIN + /dev/fuse).
• Simplified Docker Compose (no remote mounts) — reduced-privilege deployment (no SYS_ADMIN, no /dev/fuse).
• Bind-mount a local directory — back up a host folder by mounting it into the container.
• Mount an rclone config — use rclone-based repository backends by mounting your rclone config.
• Secret placeholders + Docker secrets — keep secrets out of the DB using env://... and file://... references.
• Config file import (Infrastructure as Code) — pre-configure volumes/repos/schedules/users from json file.

Advanced setups

• Tailscale sidecar — run Zerobyte behind a Tailscale sidecar using shared networking.
