Synapse really isn’t that bad unless you’re joining big rooms. I held off for ages because I thought it was a pig, but I have it running (along with a bunch of other stuff) just fine on a minimal VPS.

Services that need a lot of storage, I host at home (Gonic, Jellyfin, Audiobook Shelf etc). Services where I care about availability when I’m away from home, I host on a VPS (Vaultwarden, Synapse, Wordpress, DokuWiki etc).
Use bind mounts instead of docker volumes. Then you just have normal directories to back up, the same as you would anything else.
In general, it’s not a problem to back up files while the container is running. The exception to this is databases. To have reliable database backups, you need to stop the container (or quiesce/pause the database if it supports it) before backing up the raw database files (including SQLite).
Oh cool, I thought Raneto was dead.
Two instances of AdGuardHome … though tempted to switch to the new Gravity.
