You dont need to wipe anything, just shrink the filesystem from a live system.

Then create a new partition, which you encrypt and mount…

probably a 2GB 1core VPS is fine, of course more is better - faster for some stuff… Our Gitea instance run on a 4core 6GB VM…

Gitea - basically gitlab which is really easy to deploy

yes, and that command I pasted will run that /stop command inside the docker container. The same way you can list files or do any other commands on a running container:

# docker exec heimdall ls -la /
total 148
drwxr-xr-x   1 root root  4096 Jul 14 07:09 .
drwxr-xr-x   1 root root  4096 Jul 14 07:09 ..
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root     0 Jul 14 07:09 .dockerenv
drwxr-xr-x   1 abc  abc   4096 Jul 14 07:09 app
drwxr-xr-x   1 root root  4096 Jun 17 15:30 bin
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 12288 Jun 17 15:30 command
drwxr-xr-x   7 abc  abc   4096 Dec  3  2022 config
drwxr-xr-x   1 abc  abc   4096 Jun 23 20:35 defaults
drwxr-xr-x   5 root root   340 Aug 19 04:52 dev
-rwxr--r--   1 root root 18257 Jan  1  1970 docker-mods
drwxr-xr-x   1 root root  4096 Aug 19 04:52 etc
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Jun 23 20:35 heimdall

just run docker exec mcbe-world /stop then just wait a bit till it shuts down cleanly and then start it again…

Hey, you can edit config files in GUI 😄
