so, deb boot strap, or debbootstrap is involved in many of these tasks you’re talking about, or the docs cover the specific mount commands needed to be used in conjuection with debbootstrap, I found docs for it here: https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap

Hope this helps

youtube likes to offer me a little popup to explain why my speeds are slow and it’s never their fault! Only my browser and ISP are to blame, obviously.

no calls for restic? I use restic and a s3 layer on the other end, be it either backblaze/wasabi/s3/whatever for remote or minio/garage for local object storage. Stuff just works, then I write a systemd unit file to back it up according to whatever schedule I want for both a local target and a remote target. Helps to solve the 3-2-1 backup strategy this way. Good luck!

This. It’s more like it existing in name is enough
