Taiga docker image with stacks and backups/migrations

so I installed taiga as a single app system in it’s own host with docker/compose and now I am trying to migrate the data to a new portainer install with my other images and I noticed some issues.

  1. your documentation for migration doesn’t work on your self hosted install from 7 months ago as far as I can tell. The image names for some of the containers have changed
  2. the use of the .env file pretty much means this isn’t compatible with stacks at all. While a .env file might be nice in a few instances it sure doesn’t help people trying to keep their docker installs contained in something else so that they are easier to work with and manage
  3. why have so many containers on something you created? make life simple and clean and just do 1 container deploys. Other docker image publishers used to do this too but it seems that they are consolidating and moving to single container deploys as well (like bitwarden).
  4. your backup and restore/migrations are terrible. you should have a feature inside the app that does the backup and restore functionality instead of a messy manual backup and restore process. It would be nice if there was a scheduled backup process and a volume we can put the backup file out to so that it can be picked up by external utils.

If you can’t consolidate your containers for some reason having a full appliance would be another approach that would just make life easier for your users.

thanks
